by Johann Baptist Mayrhofer (1787 - 1836)
Es tanzen Mond und Sterne
Language: German (Deutsch)
Es tanzen Mond und Sterne Den flücht'gen Geisterreih'n: Wer wird von Erdensorgen Befangen immer seyn! Du kannst in Mondesstrahlen Nun, meine Barke, wallen; Und aller Schranken los, Wiegt dich des Meeres Schooß. Vom Markusthurme tönte Der Spruch der Mitternacht: Sie schlummern friedlich Alle, Und nur der Schiffer wacht.
