by Theodor Kirchhoff (1828 - 1899)

Meeresrauschen ‑‑ träum'risch tönet
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Meeresrauschen -- träum'risch tönet 
Durch die Abendluft dein Klang.
Von der Schöpfung Schöne singst du 
Einen hehren, ew'gen Sang.

Scheidend küßt die Mutter Sonne 
Nun mit gold'nem Mund die Flut,
Die sich selbst in Schlummer wieget, 
Träumend von des Himmels Glut.

Rauscht, ihr Wogen, leiser, leiser! 
Auch mein Abend rückt heran.
Mög'st du, Sonne, ihn verklären, 
Wie zum Schlaf den Ocean!
