It was as if heaven
had quietly kissed the earth,
so that earth with its shimmering blossoms
could only dream of heaven.
the air went through the fields,
the ears of corn swayed gently,
the woods rustled softly,
the night was so clear and starry.
And my soul spread
its wings out wide,
flew through the quiet lands
as if it were flying home.
Joseph Freiherr Von Eichendorff (1788 - 1857) Poland (orginally German Prussia)
