by Friedrich Martin von Bodenstedt (1819 - 1892)

Nach dem Gewitter
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Erst eben Donnergerolle
In flammender Wolkenschlacht,
Und nun die zaubervolle
Selige Stille der Nacht!

Es flohen die Ruhestörer
Des Tages vor ihr hin
Wie die besiegten Empörer
Vor ihrer Königin.

Hell schwimmt im Wasserspiegel
Der ganze Himmelsdom -
Es drückt sein Sternensiegel
Der Himmel auf den Strom.

Nur matt am Himmelssaume
Leuchtet's noch ab und zu,
Wie sich der Geist im Traume
Noch regt in Schlafesruh'.
