Über allen Gipfeln ist Ruh, In allen Wipfeln spürest du kaum einen Hauch; Die Vögelein schweigen im Walde, Warte nur, balde ruhest du auch!

Over all the peaks it is peaceful, In all the treetops you feel hardly a breath of wind; The little birds are silent in the forest, Only wait; soon you will rest as well!

The great German poet Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832) depicts in this poem a magnificent and peaceful image of nature and man. A jewel of poetry!
