Goethe: Wayfarer's Evening Song (From German)

Wayfarer's Evening Song
By Goethe
Translated by A.Z. Foreman

Hear me recite the poem in German and English here

Over every hilltop

comes repose.

Through every treetop

blows

barely a breath. The few

birds in the woodland cease their song.

Wait now, before long

You will rest, too. 

The Original:

Wandrers Nachtlied

Über allen Gipfeln
ist Ruh’
in allen Wipfeln
spürest du
kaum einen Hauch.
Die Vögelein schweigen im Walde.
Warte, nur balde
ruhest du auch.
