by Mathilde Walker (1842 - ?)

Mondnacht
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wie so zaub'risch in der klaren Flut
Dort des Mondes Silberschimmer ruht,
Und die Weiden lispeln wie im Traum
Leise, leise noch, man hört es kaum.

Heil'ger Friede wohnet überall,
Leise flüstert selbst der Wasserfall,
Friede wehet über Wald und Flur,
Friede haucht die schlummernde Natur.

Süße Ruhe hast du mir gebracht,
Stille, klare, wundersame Nacht! 
Und du sanftes, reines Himmelslicht,
Was ist's, das dem Herzen noch gebricht?

Confirmed with Edelweiss. Für Frauensinn und Frauenherz. Eine Auswahl aus den neuesten deutschen Lyrik, ed. by Dr. Karl Zettel, Stuttgart, E. Greiner'sche Verlagsbuchhandlung. Greiner & Pfeiffer, 1884, p. 290.
