> The moon has risen > The golden stars are shining > Bright and clear in the sky; > The forest stands black and silent, > And from the meadows rises > A wonderful white mist. > How still the world is, And in the dawn's embrace, So cozy and so mild! As a quiet chamber,Where you the day's misery Sleepily and forgetfully shall. > > Do you see the moon standing there? — > It is only half visible, > And yet it is round and beautiful! > Some things are probably like that, > Which we confidently laugh at, > Because our eyes do not see them. > > We proud human children > are vain poor sinners > And know not much at all; > We spin airy-fairy > and seek many arts > And get further from the goal.
