Die falben Felder schlafen schon

Die falben Felder schlafen schon, 
mein Herz nur wacht allein;
der Abend refft im Hafen schon 
sein rotes Segel ein.

Traumselige Vigilie! 
Jetzt wallt die Nacht durchs Land;
der Mond, die weiße Lilie 
blüht auf in ihrer Hand.

by Rainer Maria Rilke (1875-1926) , no title, from Larenopfer, in Vigilien, no. 1
