THROUGH rain, through snow, br Through tempest go! br 'Mongst streaming caves, br O'er misty waves, br On, on! still on! br Peace, rest have flown! br br Sooner through sadness br br I'd wish to be slain, br Than all the gladness br br Of life to sustain br All the fond yearning br br That heart feels for heart, br Only seems burning br br To make them both smart. br br How shall I fly? br Forestwards hie? br Vain were all strife! br Bright crown of life.
