by Christoph Joseph Matzerath (1815 - 1876)

Über die Ähren kräuselnd geht
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Über die Ähren kräuselnd geht 
Leise, leise der Hauch der Nacht;
Daß kein Blättchen am Stiel der Rose,
Daß kein Vogel im Strauch erwacht;
Nur die Sterne in stiller Luft
Glühen für sich in seligem Schein,
Und spiegeln mir tief
Ihren ewigen Frieden ins Herz hinein.
