leave
Christmas
stand all market and street still lit every house;
musing I'd go through the streets,
everything looks so festive.
at the windows, women
colored toys decorated pious,
are a thousand little children stand all look and
happy so very quiet.
And I wander from the walls
up out into the open field.
marvels shining, holy showers
like so far and still the world!
Stars wrap up the circles;
from the snow solitude
's rise as wonderful singing. -
Oh, you got some time of grace!
Joseph von Eichendorff 1788 - 1857
