by Karl Stieler (1842 - 1885)

Du stürmend Herz, lern' leiser schlagen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Du stürmend Herz, lern'  leiser schlagen, 
Ist denn Vergessen gar so schwer? 
O schau' dies schweigende Entsagen 
Der schönen Erde rund umher!  

Schau, wie der Sonne Gluth sich wendet, 
Horch, wie verstummt des Vogels Sang; 
Sie tragen's alle, daß es endet, 
Was eh' dem blühte, glänzte, klang.  

Es gibt der Strauch sein grünes Leben 
Und seine letzten Rosen her; 
Mein Herz, wann wirst du dich ergeben, 
Ist denn Vergessen gar so schwer?
