Hvile
Language: Danish (Dansk)
Solen er slukket, dagen forstummer, skyerne stå ved himlens rand. Stjernerne smile; drømme og slummer favne i stilhed hav og land. Ak, når min dag nu snart er tilende, kunne jeg da, som blomsten dér, hylle mit hoved blødt og mig vende mig trygt mod det unge morgenskær!
