Zur Ruh', zur Ruh'
Language: German (Deutsch)
Zur Ruh', zur Ruh', Ihr müden Glieder! Schließt fest euch zu, Ihr Augenlider! Ich bin allein, Fort ist die Erde; Nacht muß es sein, Daß Licht mir werde; O führt mich ganz, Ihr innern Mächte! Hin zu dem Glanz Der tiefsten Nächte. Fort aus dem Raum Der Erdenschmerzen Durch Nacht und Traum Zum Mutterherzen!
