by Mia Holm, née von Hedenström (1845 - 1912)

Kennt ihr den Sturm
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Kennt ihr den Sturm, das eis'ge Wehn,
das uns're Seelen bricht?
Habt ihr den graus'gen Tod gesehn
im liebsten Angesicht?

Ich sah ihn dort, er blickte kalt,
hat höhnisch aufgelacht.
Da sank ich hin, da ward ich alt,
da ward ich alt in einer einz'ger Nacht.
