by Friedrich von Matthisson (1761 - 1831)
Hymne an die Nacht
Language: German (Deutsch)
Heil'ge Nacht, o gieße du Himmelsfrieden in dies Herz, Bring' dem armen Pilger Ruh', holde Labung seinem Schmerz! Hell schon erglühn die Sterne, grüßen aus blauer Ferne: Möchte zu euch so gerne flieh'n himmelwärts. Harfentöne, lind und süß, weh'n mir zarte Lüfte her, aus des Himmels Paradies, aus der Liebe Wonnemeer. Glüht nur, ihr gold'nen Sterne, winkend aus blauer Ferne: Möchte zu euch so gerne flieh'n himmelwärts.
