by Josef Seiler (1823 - 1877)

Lied der Nacht
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Es singt die Nacht ein leises Lied,
Von fern hab' ich's gehört: 
Es klang so mild, es klang so müd,
Hat all mein Herz bethört.

Still horchten die Waldvögelein,
Die Wipfel rauschten sacht,
Die Sterne gossen süßen Schein
Ins leise Lied der Nacht.
