by Heinrich Pfeil (1835 - 1899)

Still ruht der See!
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Still ruht der See! 
Die Vöglein schlafen,
Ein Flüstern nur,
Du hörst es kaum!
Der Abend naht,
Nun senkt sich nieder
Auf die Natur
Ein süßer Traum! 

Still ruht der See!
Durch das Gezweige
Der heil'ge Odem
Gottes weht;
Die Blümlein
An dem Seegestade,
Sie sprechen fromm
Ihr Nachtgebet. 

Still ruht der See!
Vom Himmelsdome
Die Sterne friedsam 
Niederseh'n:
O Menschenherz,
Gib dich zufrieden,
Auch du, auch du
Wirst schlafen geh'n!
