by Christian Morgenstern (1871 - 1914)
Traumwald
Language: German (Deutsch)
Des Vogels Aug verschleiert sich; Er sinkt in Schlaf auf seinem Baum. Der Wald verwandelt sich in Traum Und wird so tief und feierlich. Der Mond, der stille, steigt empor: Die kleine Kehle zwitschert matt. Im ganzen Walde schwingt kein Blatt. Fern läutet, fern, der Sterne Chor.
