Still ist's auf dem Erdenkreise,
Nur die Nachtigall im Baume
Schlägt noch ihre ernste Weise,
Leis' und heimlich, wie im Traume;

Und der Mond mit mattem Lächeln
Blickt vom Himmelszelt hernieder.
Laue, weiche Lüfte fächeln,
Stark gewürzt vom duft'gen Flieder!

Ach, die Welt in ihrem Schlummer
Gleicht dem armen Menschenherzen,
Das nach Tages Müh'n und Kummer
Träumend nur, vergisst die Schmerzen.
