by Paul Heyse (1830 - 1914)

Schönster Tag, nun gute Nacht!
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Schönster Tag, nun gute Nacht!
Wie viel Freuen und Frohlocken,
Lieb' und Lust und Blütenflocken,
Herrlicher, hast du gebracht!

Siehe, wie die Schatten sacht
Unsern Waldespfad umgrauen!
In den lichten Himmelsauen
Ist der erste Stern erwacht.

Sei willkommen, Sternenpracht!
Stille nun die Lust allmählich!
Heimwärts ziehn wir, stumm und selig --
Schönster Tag, nun gute Nacht!
