by Paul Heyse (1830 - 1914)

Stimme der Nacht
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Nur eine Wachtel schlug im Feld,
Da ich vorüberging,
Nur eine [leise]1 Glocke rief,
Die hoch im Turme hing.

Verhallt die wirre Menschenlust,
Der wunde Menschenschrei.
So still der Wald! Es rauscht der [Fluß]2
Mit [Murmelklang]3 vorbei.

Ein lautlos feuchter Uferwind
[Entfacht dein]4 Blut mit Macht,
Und [die verlorne]5 Liebe ruft
[Beweglich]6 durch die Nacht.
