by Ludwig Heinrich Christoph Hölty (1748 - 1776)

An die Ruhe
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Tochter Edens, o Ruh', die du die Finsternis
Stiller Haine bewohnst, unter der Dämmerung
Mondversilberter Pappeln,
Mit verschlungenen Armen, weilst;

Endlich bietest du mir, Herzenerfreuerin,
Deinen himmlischen Kranz, ach! und umarmest mich,
Bald auf duftenden Wiesen,
Bald am Busche der Nachtigall!

Hingegossen auf Tau, blick ich den Abendstern,
Deinen Liebling, o Ruh', blick ich den Mond hinan,
Der so freundlich, so freundlich
Durch die nickenden Wipfel schaut.
