by Julius Karl Reinhold Sturm (1816 - 1896)

Nun der Sonne Strahl verglommen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Nun der Sonne Strahl verglommen
Und mein Tagwerk vollbracht,
Heiß‘ ich freudig dich willkommen,
Tiefe, dunkle, stille Nacht.

Mit dem sterndurchwobnen Schleier
Überdeckst du Feld und Hain,
Und zu andachtsvoller Feier
Schließet mich dein Friede ein.

Freier eilt die Seele wieder,
Ihrer ew’gen Heimat zu,
Und die müden Augenlider
Schließt ein goldner Traum uns zu.
