by Johann Friedrich Kind (1768 - 1843)

Und wenn die Blum' sich schließet
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Und wenn die Blum' sich schließet,
  Erquickt der Thau die Flur.
Bei stiller Nacht ergießet
  Sich milde Kühlung nur.
Ach,  nirgends, nirgends [hienieden]1,
Nur dort [winkt]2 himmlischer Frieden.  --
  Seele,  heilig und fromm,
    Komm, o komm!

Was steigt vom Himmel nieder
  Und flüstert um mich her?
Was tönt im Herzen wieder
  So leis und [ahnungsschwer]3?
Ach,  nirgends, nirgends [hienieden]1,
Nur dort [winkt]3 himmlischer Frieden.  --
  Seele, heilig und fromm,
    Komm, o komm!
