by Friedrich Hermann Frey (1839 - 1911), as Martin Greif

Ihr Wolken, erhebt euch
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ihr Wolken, erhebt euch 
In himmlische Höh'! 
Verlasset den grünen 
Wildschäumenden See.

Er lacht nicht mehr freundlich,
Seit ihr ihn umzieht; 
Bald stürmt er ans Ufer,
Bald weicht er und flieht.

Er ruft euch hernieder,
Er kennt sich nicht mehr;
Ihr nehmt ihm die Sonne 
Und drängt ihn so schwer.

Wohl ganz wie das Herze 
Gebahret er sich,
Das saget zum Schmerze: 
Erdrücke du mich.
