I shall take good care to stay just where I am, quite certain that beyond the somber clouds, my beloved Sun is shining still!

Be comforted, dear soul! There is always light behind the clouds.

The sun still shines.

The moon is still bright;
The lights below the hills are still on;
The sky is still full of stars
Hanging like dreams.

As long as this exists, this sunshine and this cloudless sky, and as long as I can enjoy it, how can I be sad?

Be you still, be you still, trembling heart;
Remember the wisdom out of the old days:
Him who trembles before the flame and the flood,
And the winds that blow through the starry ways,
Let the starry winds and the flame and the flood
Cover over and hide, for he has no part
With the lonely, majestical multitude.

Be still, my heart, away with pain! Though passion stirs again In blood that now flows slowly And leads to paths once known, These paths you tread in vain For youth has flown.

As sunshine broken in the rill,
Though turned astray, is sunshine still.
