Laue Sommernacht, am Himmel

Laue Sommernacht, am Himmel
[Steht]1 kein Stern, im weiten Walde
Suchten wir uns tief im Dunkel,
Und wir fanden uns.

Fanden uns im weiten Walde
In der Nacht, der sternenlosen,
Hielten staunend uns im Arme
In der dunklen Nacht.

War nicht unser ganzes Leben
Nur ein Tappen, nur ein Suchen,
Da in seine Finsternisse
Liebe, fiel dein Licht.

by Gustav Falke (1853-1916)
