by Alexander Kaufmann (1817 - 1893)

In der Bucht
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Es [hüllt]1 der dunkle Wald uns ein;
  Die Ruder plätschern matt und leise; 
Kaum, daß von oben noch herein
  Der Mond bescheint die stille Reise.

Die Blume träumt in stiller Pracht,
  Es singen leis die schönen Frauen --
Wer möchte wohl nach solcher Nacht
  Noch wünschen je den Tag zu schauen!
