[Written at night on the Kickelhahn, a hill 
in the forest of Ilmenau, on the walls of a little hermitage where 
Goethe composed the last act of his Iphigenia.]


HUSH'D on the hill

Is the breeze;

Scarce by the zephyr

The trees

Softly are press'd;
The woodbird's asleep on the bough.
Wait, then, and thou

Soon wilt find rest.

1783.
