by (Johann) Gottfried Kinkel (1815 - 1882)

Ringsum auf allen Plätzen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Ringsum auf allen Plätzen
Schläft unbewegt die Nacht.
Am blauen Himmel stehet
Der Mond in voller Pracht.

So totenstill sind beide,
Das alt' und neue Rom,
Und selbst ihr Riesenwächter
Nickt ein -- Sankt Peters Dom.

Nur wunderbar noch rauschen
Die Brunnen nah und fern.
Die halten wach die Seele
Die selbst entschliefe gern.

Die spülen aus dem Herzen
Leise das alte Leid.
Im blauen Mondlicht dämmert
Weit fort die alte Zeit!
