WANDERER'S NIGHT SONG by JOHANN WOLFGANG VON GOETHE

First Line: PEACE, ON THE HILLS FORSAKEN
Last Line: YOU, TOO, SHALL REST.
Subject(s): WANDERING & WANDERERS; WANDERLUST; VAGABONDS; TRAMPS; HOBOES;

PEACE, on the hills forsaken,
Is deep;
The leaves unshaken
Are asleep;
By twilit nest
Stilled is the wood-bird's tune;
Hush, heart! You soon,
You, too, shall rest.
