Johann Wolfgang von Goethe - Night Song
Work rating: Low

WHEN on thy pillow lying,

Half listen, I implore,
And at my lute`s soft sighing,

Sleep on! what wouldst thou more?

For at my lute`s soft sighing

The stars their blessings pour
On feelings never-dying;

Sleep on! what wouldst thou more?

Those feelings never-dying

My spirit aid to soar
From earthly conflicts trying;

Sleep on! what wouldst thou more?

From earthly conflicts trying

Thou driv`st me to this shore;
Through thee I`m thither flying,—

Sleep on! what wouldst thou more?

Through thee I`m hither flying,

Thou wilt not list before
In slumbers thou art lying:

Sleep on! what wouldst thou more?
