Nachtgesang
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): ENG
Neige, Nacht, dich leise nieder, löse linde meine Leiden, schlinge schirmend deinen Schlummerarm um die schmerzenschweren Glieder. Senk’ mir in die sehnsuchtsmüde Seele deine sorgelösenden Gesänge, daß im Dämmerduft des Traumes wieder in mir auferwachen all die wilden, wonnevollen, goldnen Glücksgedankenflammen, die im Leben längst erloschen.
