sometimes misattributed to (Gustav) Hermann Kletke (1813 - 1886) and by Hermann Kette (1828 - 1908)

Wie das Kind, wenn's geweint hat
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wie [das]1 Kind, wenn's geweint hat, 
  sind die Augen schon zu,
im Schlafe noch schluchzet 
  und kommt nicht zur Ruh';
wie das Meer, wenn's gestürmt hat, 
  ist der Sturm schon gebannt,
noch lang' seine Wellen 
  hintreibet zum Strand;
So das Herz, wenn's geliebt hat, 
  oft noch wogt es gelind,
und es schluchzet noch manchmal 
  im Traum wie ein Kind.
