by Richard von Schaukal (1874 - 1942)

An die Nacht
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Komm gütige Nacht und hülle 
in deinen Mantel mich 
die müden Augen fülle 
mit schwerem Schlafe sprich 

ins Ohr voll Muttergüte 
die Worte tiefer Ruh 
decke mit Blatt und Blüte 
des Traums mein Sehnen zu 

lass mich die Pforten offen 
finden wie einst zum Glück 
gib mir mein Kinderhoffen 
und Kraft zum Tag zurück! 

Confirmed with Richard von Schaukal, Ausgewählte Gedichte, erschienen im Insel-Verlag im Jahre 1904, page 16.
