by Emanuel von Geibel (1815 - 1884)
Language: German (Deutsch)
Mein Herz ist wie die dunkle Nacht, Wenn alle Wipfel rauschen; Da steigt der Mond in voller Pracht Aus Wolken sacht -- Und sieh, der Wald verstummt in tiefem Lauschen. Der Mond, der lichte Mond bist du; In deiner Liebesfülle Wirf einen, einen Blick mir zu Voll Himmelsruh -- Und sieh, dies ungestüme Herz wird stille.
