I'd like to add a short and serene poem which Goethe
"probably wrote [...] onto the wall of a wooden gamekeeper lodge on top of the Kickelhahn mountain where he [...] spent the night." [1]
Wandrers Nachtlied ("Wanderer's Nightsong")
Über allen Gipfeln
Ist Ruh,
In allen Wipfeln
Spürest du
Kaum einen Hauch;
Die Vögelein schweigen im Walde.
Warte nur, balde
Ruhest du auch.
O’er all the hilltops
Is quiet now,
In all the treetops
Hearest thou
Hardly a breath;
The birds are asleep in the trees:
Wait, soon like these
Thou too shalt rest. (Henry Wadsworth Longfellow)
