by Carl Morell (1823 - 1866)

So stiller Frieden rings umher
Language: German (Deutsch) 
So stiller Frieden rings umher, 
So ruhig stehn die Bäume; 
Das scheue Mondlicht liegt so leis, 
Als ob's auf Blumen träume.  

Drei Sterne glänzen mild und ernst, 
Als ob vor Gott sie treten,
Und tief in meiner Seele drin 
Ist mir's, als müßt' ich beten.
