Who was it that drew me from the depth of the ocean

When the streams again became still and quiet,

15 Who before had forced me in fury to rage?

III. A Storm

At times I am fast confined by my Master,

Who sendeth forth under the fertile plain

My broad bosom, but bridles me in.

He drives in the dark a dangerous power

5 To a narrow cave, where crushing my back

Sits the weight of the world. No way of escape
