by Nikolaus Lenau (1802 - 1850)
Auf dem Teich, dem Regungslosen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Auf dem [Teich, dem Regungslosen, Weilt]1 des Mondes holder Glanz, Flechtend seine bleichen Rosen In des Schilfes grünen Kranz. Hirsche wandeln dort am Hügel, Blicken [in]2 die Nacht empor; Manchmal regt sich das Geflügel Träumerisch im tiefen Rohr. [Weinend muß]3 mein Blick sich senken; Durch die tiefste Seele geht Mir ein süßes Deingedenken, Wie ein stilles Nachtgebet.
