by Johan Halmrast (1866 - 1912)

Natten er stille
Language: Norwegian (Bokmål) 
Natten er stille;
Drømmende sove 
de lydløse Skove,
Tone ei høres,
Ei Sand eller Trille,
Natten er stille;
Minderne glider 
fra hensvundne Tider,
indover Sjælen;
den kysse de ville;
Natten er stille,
Længslerne hæver 
sin Vinge, og svæver 
didop hvor Stjernerne 
blinke, og spille,
Natten er stille.
