by (Carl Friedrich) Julius Altmann (1814 - 1873)

Nachts
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Gold'ne Lichtesfunken
streuen sanft sich aus;
Tag, du bist versunken,
hin ist Lärm und Braus.

Durch das Erdendunkel
von des Himmels Höh'n
geht ein Sterngefunkel,
leuchtend, lieblich schön.

In die ew'gen Fernen
blick' ich gern bei Nacht.
Hinter allen Sternen
Gottes Auge wacht.
