by Jakob Burckhardt (1818 - 1897)
Die du still gegangen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Die du still gegangen Kommst, o kühle Nacht, Schützerin der Seelen, Deren Sehnsucht wacht, Lass' sie kosten deine Tiefe Einsamkeit, Gib durch ferne Weiten Ihrem Schmerz Geleit. Doch auf ihren Schlummer, Hohe Sternenfrau! Gieß aus goldnen Strahlen Milden Lebenstau, Daß ihr Aug' erwache Morgenrotverklärt, Neuem Kampf der Tage Freudig zugekehrt.
