by Gerhard Busch (1842 - ?)

Nachtlied
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Schließt nicht alle Welt zur Rast
  Müd das Auge zu?
Wirf denn von dir deine Last 
  Herz, und rast' auch du. 

All dein Denken laß es ruhn,
  Ruhn des Lebens Spiel;
Deinem Leiden, deinem Thun 
  Suche solch ein Ziel.

Senke deine Lust und Plag'
  In des Schlummers Bann 
Und vergiß, daß noch ein Tag 
  Dich erwecken kann.
