Dämmerung
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Sanft und mild
Auf's Gefild
Schwebt herab die stille Nacht!
Vöglein tauchen in's Gefieder
Längst die müden Köpfchen nieder;
Gott ist's, der für Alle wacht.
Gute Nacht!

Aug' und Herz
Himmelwärts!
Frag'st du, was dir werden soll?
Kannst du nirgends Ruhe finden?
Laß den Kummer endlich schwinden,
Gott ist so erbarmungsvoll!
Ruhe wohl!

Auf den Herrn
Hoffe gern,
Der die Seinen nie verließ;
Dann wird Friede dich umschweben,
Und hienieden wirst du leben,
Engeln gleich im Paradies.
Träume süß!

Confirmed with Gedichte von Hugo Grabow. Als Manuscript gedruckt, Berlin: Druck von Rudolph Gensch, 1858, pages 16-17.
