¶Liedtext

Thou who rollest in the firmament, round as the shield of my fathers, whence is thy girdle of glory, O sun, anf thy light everlasting? Forth thou comest in thy awful beauty; the stars at thy rising haste to their azure pavilions; The moon sinks pale in the waters, but thou movest alone. Who dareth to wander beside thee? Oaks of the mountain decay and the hard rock crumbles asunder; ocean shrinks and grows again; lost is the moon in the heavens; whilst thou remainest the same, to rejoice in thy brightness. Although laden with storms be the wind, loud thunders be rolling; though lightnings be glaring around, thou lookest from the clouds in thy beauty, laughing at the storm.
