by Christian Morgenstern (1871 - 1914)

Wandernde Stille
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wie die Stille übers weite Wasser hergewandert kommt -!
während Tages letzte Rosenglut verglimmt, verschwimmt.
Wie die Stille übers weite Wasser hergewandert kommt -!
während schwärzlichen Gebirgen düsterroter Mond entflammt.
Wie die Stille übers weite Wasser hergewandert kommt -!
Zornig schreit im tiefen Wald ein Vogel - und verstummt.
Wie die Stille übers weite Wasser hergewandert kommt -!
