possibly by Friedrich von Gerstenberg and possibly by Heinrich (Hans) Wilhelm von Gerstenberg (1737 - 1823)

Gruß an Züllchow
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Liebes Haus auf Berges Höh'!
Das mit seiner Säulen Pracht
In des Sees Ferne lacht,
Das ich, ob ich ferne steh',
Vor mir ewig leuchtend seh';
Dir sei durch die stille Nacht
Tausendfacher Gruß gebracht.

Grosses Herz! das drinnen schlägt,
Schwesternseele! edel, mild,
Nie vergessenes liebes Bild!
Geist, der ruhg waltend trägt,
Was das Schicksal auferlegt;
Noch einmal sei Gruss gebracht,
Dir aus meiner stillen Nacht.

Wohl verstummt das treue Wort,
Wenn es sich kein anderes tauscht,
Ob es lange sehnend lauscht,
Doch der Geist bleibt, fort und fort,
Treu dem Geiste bis zum Port,
Wo aus dunkler Daseinsnacht
Ew'ge Nähe ihm erwacht.
