by Karl August Timotheus Kahlert (1807 - 1864)

Sommernacht
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Gern mag ich liegen 
Am Hügel in der Nacht, 
Schau'n in der Ferne 
Der gold'nen Sterne Pracht. 

Gern mag ich schauen 
Der Rosen sanften Schein, 
Vom süßen Düfte 
Berauscht, beseligt sein. 

Gern mag ich lauschen 
Im Hain im Dämmerlicht 
Himmlischen Tönen, 
Woraus die Sehnsucht spricht. 

In Deiner Nähe 
Was ist dies Alles mir, 
Stern', Blüthen, Töne, 
Bei Blick' und Wort' von Dir! 

Confirmed with Karl August Timotheus Kahlert, Gedichte, Breslau: Eduard Trewendt, 1864, page 19. Appears in Aus den Jugendtagen.
