by Karl Friedrich Henckell (1864 - 1929)

Matt gießt der Mond vom Wolkensaum
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Matt gießt der Mond vom Wolkensaum
Die Wehmut in den Weltenraum;
Der Wind geht klagend vorüber,
Der Himmel wird trüb und trüber.

Der Himmel ist hoch, und die Welt ist weit,
Ich bin verlassen in meinem Leid,
Ich eile die dunkeln Wege,
Daß ich zur Ruh mich lege ...
