by Wilhelm Hosäus (1827 - 1900)

Meeresstille
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Kühle Abendwinde wehen,
golden glänzt der Sterne Schein,
Wellen kommen, Wellen gehen,
und die See schläft ruhig ein.
Hast du vergessen Leiden und Weh?
Schlummere stille, träumende See.

Träumt dir von des Himmels Sternen,
von der Engel Reigentanz?
Deines Herzens tiefe Fernen
spiegeln selgen Himmelsglanz.
Lächle dem Sänger, lindre sein Weh,
sende ihm Frieden, träumende See.

Horch, es klingt aus dunkeln Gründen
mir ein leises Flüstern zu,
Geisterstimmen tröstend künden:
Herz, einst gehst auch du zur Ruh.
Darfst dann vergessen Leiden und Weh,
ruhn wie die stille, träumende See.
