by Johann Ludwig Uhland (1787 - 1862)

Sonnenwende
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Nun die Sonne soll vollenden
Ihre längste, schönste Bahn,
Wie sie zögert, sich zu wenden
Nach dem stillen Ozean!
Ihrer Göttin Jugendneige
Fühlt die ahnende Natur,
Und mir dünkt, bedeutsam schweige
Rings die abendliche Flur.

Nur die Wachtel, die sonst immer
Frühe schmälend weckt den Tag,
Schlägt dem überwachten Schimmer
Jetzt noch einen Weckeschlag;
Und die Lerche steigt im Singen
Hochauf aus dem duft'gen Tal,
Einen Blick noch zu erschwingen
In den schon versunknen Strahl.

Confirmed with Ludwig Uhland, Werke. Band 1, München, 1980, page 43.
