by Friedrich Heinrich Karl, Freiherr de La Motte-Fouqué (1777 - 1843)

Gute Nacht
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Gute Nacht,
Lieben, Sehnen, Liebesschwingen,
Meeresfahrten, blut’ges Ringen,
Alles, alles ist vollbracht;
Unter goldnen Kronenlichtern,
Steht die Herrin da in Pracht,
Zwischen Rittern, Frau'n und Dichtern;
Hat ein Leben angefacht,
Wie sich’s Heldenzeit erdacht.
Gute Nacht!
Gute Nacht!
