by Carl (Theodor) Weitbrecht (1847 - 1904)

Stille, stille!
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Stille, stille!
Der Tag ist gegangen,
Tief drunten verklangen
Die letzten Stimmen,
Im Zwielicht schwimmen
Höhen und Wald --
   Ein [Atmen]1 weht,
Ein zitternd Gebet
Ringsum im Kreise --
   Und eine Seele geht
Auf die letzte Reise.
