by Rainer Maria Rilke (1875 - 1926)

Die Nacht im Silberfunkenkleid
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Die Nacht im Silberfunkenkleid
streut Träume eine Handvoll,
die füllen mir mit Trunkenheit
die tiefe Seele randvoll.

Wie Kinder eine Weihnacht sehn
voll Glanz und goldnen Nüssen, —
seh ich dich durch die Mainacht gehn
und alle Blumen küssen.
