by Hermann Eckelmann (1817 - 1886)

Die Wintersonne
Language: German (Deutsch) 
O Sonne, träge Sonne, 
Gar spät erscheinst du heut'! 
Was säumest du so lange 
In kalter Winterzeit?"  

"Dort hinter jenem Berge 
Da weht ein rauher Wind, 
Ich mußte erst noch wärmen 
Ein armes Waisenkind.

Confirmed with Drittes Lesebuch für die deutschen katholischen Schulen in den Vereinigten Staaten von Nord-Amerika, no editor named, New York, Cincinnati and St. Louis, Mo.: Benziger Brothers, 1881, page 33.
