Die Nacht


Night is like a quiet sea,
Longing, pain and love's lamenting
coming all entangled there
in the gentle waves and breakers.
Wishes are like clouds on high,
sailing through the still expanses,
Who can tell in the gentle winds,
whether thinking, whether dreaming?
Should I now close heart and mouth,
they so oft to stars complaining:
softly in my heart so deep
still the gentle waves are breaking.
Night is like a quiet sea.

Song by Herzogenberg
