To the Memory

of Zumsteeg

by

a Friend.

What voices of anxious mourning
Do I hear floating, softly sighing?
How, through the shuddering of the forest,
The wings of the north storm heavily rise!
Groaning it blows through the leaves,
Louder it rushes through the night of the branches,
Until in its fearsome power
Now the full storm awakens,
And like God’s thunderstorm
The wide forest crashes all around.
Thus the news of mourning arises,
