by (Christian) Wilhelm von Schütz (1776 - 1847)

Abendruhe
Language: German (Deutsch) 
So still, wie rings die Wipfel
Still ward ich, wie die Luft,
Als ich auf Berges Gipfel
Einsog den Abendduft.

Auch nicht ein Blättchen regte
[An meiner Seele]1 sich;
Kein Sternbild mich bewegte,
Deß Glanz herniederschlich.

Und nicht konnt' ich [mir]2 sagen,
Was nur so wohl mir thu';
Im [Still'n]3 mußt' ich ertragen
Die stille süsse Ruh.
