by (Gustav) Hermann Kletke (1813 - 1886)

Zum Abend
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Es haucht die Linde 
In weicher Luft
Im Abendwinde
So süßen Duft!
Die Wipfel wiegen 
Die Träume fliegen --
Was kann ich Bess'res halbträumend thun, 
Als Dir am Herzen auszuruhn!

Schon webt so leise
Das Mondenlicht
Im Zauberkreise
Sein Traumgesicht!
So hold beginnt es,
Was lebt, umspinnt es --
Was kann ich Bess'res halbträumend thun, 
Als Dir am Herzen auszuruhn!

Des Baches Rauschen,
Noch hör' ich's kaum --
Was soll ich lauschen,
Es singt im Traum --
O Nacht, du müde,
O holder Friede --
Was kann ich Bess'res halbträumend thun, 
Als Dir am Herzen auszuruhn!

Confirmed with Gedichte von Hermann Kletke Vermehrte Gesammt-Ausgabe, Berlin, Verlag von F. H. Schroeder (Hermann Kaiser), 1873, pages 48-49.
