Alles Tagverlangen
Ist zur Ruh gegangen
Rosenrot im Rohr --
Aus den Birkenzweigen,
Wo er still gehangen,
Bleich und netzgefangen,
Hebt in sanftem Steigen
Sich der Mond empor.

Leise, weiße Seiden
Kleiden jetzt die Weiden,
Schläfernd schlürft der Bach.
Schober auf den Wiesen
Hocken wie die Riesen,
Und die [dunkeln]1 Hunde,
Ruhlos in der Runde,
Wandern wach.
