by Isolde (Maria Clara) Kurz (1853 - 1944)

Das ist die Lenznacht still und warm
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Das ist die Lenznacht still und warm, 
Sie kommt und deckt die Erde zu, 
Die schmiegt sich fest in ihren Arm 
Und geht zur Ruh'.  

Wie sanft sie ruh'n im Schoß der Nacht, 
Die Müden wie im Mutterschoß! 
Und nur der Gram, der sehnend wacht, 
Ist ruhelos. 

Hinirrt der Blick am Sternenfeld: 
Wo weilest du?  Wo weilest du? 
Stumm wie ein Friedhof liegt die Welt, 
Du bist zur Ruh'.
