by Ernst Arthur Seemann (1829 - 1904), as Nautilus

Ständchen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wenn uns des Abends Strahl 
Westwärts entflieht,
Und um den Himmelssaal 
Dämmrung sich zieht; 

Wenn an dem hohen Zelt 
Manch Sternlein blinkt, 
Und das Geräusch der Welt 
Fernhin verklingt:

Dann, wie durch Zaubernacht, 
Kühlt sich die Glut; 
Sieh, wie im Arm der Nacht 
Die Erde ruht! 

So nach des Tages Hast 
Komm ich zu dir:
Nimm meiner Sorgen Last 
Freundlich von mir! 

Denn, wie aus Mondes Pracht 
Erdruhe quillt, 
Wird durch der Liebsten Macht 
Erdleid gestillt.

Fern von der Menschen Schwärm,
Dein bin ich nun;
Laß auch in deinem Arm 
Selig mich ruhn.

Found in Blätter für literarische Unterhaltung, Volume 2, Page 651. Quoted from Schaum. Gesammelte Lieder von Nautilus. Leipzig, Verlag des Literarischen Jahresberichts.
