EMANUEL GEIBEL: HOFFNUNG

emanuelgeibel111

Emanuel Geibel
(1815-1884)

Hoffnung

Und dräut der Winter noch so sehr
mit trotzigen Gebärden,
und streut er Eis und Schnee umher,
es muß doch Frühling werden.

Blast nur, ihr Stürme, blast mit Macht,
mir soll darob nicht bangen,
auf leisen Sohlen über Nacht
kommt doch der Lenz gegangen.

Drum still! Und wie es frieren mag,
o Herz, gib dich zufrieden,
es ist ein großer Maientag
der ganzen Welt beschieden.

Und wenn dir oft auch bangt und graut,
als sei die Höll’ auf Erden,
nur unverzagt auf Gott vertraut!
Es muß doch Frühling werden.

Emanuel Geibel Gedicht
