by Gustav Kastropp (1844 - 1925)

Die Waldhorntöne verklingen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Die Waldhorntöne verklingen
In weiter Ferne bald,
Es sinken des Schlummers Schwingen
Hernieder auf den Wald.

Aus dunklen Blütenzweigen
Quillt es wie Liederklang,
Wie sehnsuchtseliges Niegen,
Wie jubelnder Liebesgesang.

Und durch der Drossel Lieder
Ist auch der Mond erwacht,
Der sendet grüßend hernieder
Silberne Stralenpracht [sic].

Mein einzig Licht und Leben,
O könntest du bei mir sein!
Dann wiegt' ich mit süßem Beben
An meinem Herzen dich ein.

Da solltest du ruhig träumen
Und leise säng' ich dir zu
Von Mondlicht, schlummernden Bäumen
Und seliger Waldesruh!--
