by Joseph Karl Benedikt, Freiherr von Eichendorff (1788 - 1857)

Nächtlich wandern alle Flüsse
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Choose for Diff
Nächtlich wandern alle Flüsse
Und der Himmel, Stern auf Stern,
Sendet so viel tausend Grüße,
Daß die Wälder nah und fern
Schauernd rauschen in den Gründen;
Nur der Mensch, dem Tod geweiht,
Träumet fort von seinen Sünden
In der stillen Gnadenzeit.
