by Justinus (Andreas Christian) Kerner (1786 - 1862)

Lass dich belauschen
Language: German (Deutsch)

Lass dich belauschen,
Du stille Nacht!
Nur Wasser rauschen,
Nur Liebe wacht.

Vom Walde drüben
Tönt süsser Schall,
Es singt von [Lieben]1
Die Nachtigall.

Der Vogel schweiget,
Der Mond entwich,
Zur Blume neiget
Die Blume sich.

Der Liebe Fülle
Durchströmt die Flur,
In Nacht und Stille
Sinkt die Natur.
