by Emanuel von Geibel (1815 - 1884)

Nun ist der Tag versunken
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Nun ist der Tag [versunken]1,
[Zur Ruh']2 sind Berg und See,
Es glüh'n wie gold'ne Funken 
Die Stern' in blauer Höh'.

Im Schlaf die Felder liegen, 
Der Wald nur ist erwacht,
Und was er dem Lichte verschwiegen,
Das singt er leise der Nacht. 

Und was ich am lauten Tage 
Dir nimmer sagen kann, 
Nun möcht ich dir's sagen und klagen,
O komm' und hör' mich an!
