by Anton Prokesch-Osten (1795 - 1876)

Es schläft die See in dunkler Nacht
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Es schläft die [See in]1 dunkler Nacht, 
Kein [Sternchen]2 ist Heut aufgewacht, 
Kein [Lüftchen]3 ist gekommen; 
So schläft ein Herz von Leid erfüllt, 
In Schweigen dicht und tief verhüllt, 
Und jedem Wunsch entnommen. 
Es tont von ferne Schiffersang 
Voll Wehmuth und voll sanftem [Klang 
Und]4 singt sich selbst den Frieden; 
O Hoffnung komm, o Lebenslust, 
Zieht ein in die [bewegte]5 Brust! 
Wo find' ich [euch hieniedens -]6
