by Stefan Zweig (1881 - 1942)

Bei Tag ist alles hier Gewöhnlichkeit
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Bei Tag ist alles hier Gewöhnlichkeit.
Die Straße klingt vom Holzschuhtritt der Bauern,
Vom Lärm der Weiber, die am Markte kauern.

Allein im milden Glanz der Abendzeit
Erwacht der alten Häuser leises Trauern.
Die Glocke mahnt ... Und in den dunkeln Mauern

Erstehn die Träume der Vergangenheit.
