Let's learn the verse in German 
It's simple... First, the verse with Russian translation (thanks to http://www.franklang.ru):
Johann Wolfgang Goethe (1749 — 1832)
Wandrers Nachtlied
(ночная песнь странника = песнь на ночь: die Nacht — ночь + das Lied — песнь)
Über allen Gipfeln (над всеми вершинами: der Gipfel)
Ist Ruh (покой: die Ruhe),
In allen Wipfeln (во всех верхушках: der Wipfel)
Spürest du (чувствуешь ты)
Kaum einen Hauch (едва = почти никакого дуновения, дыхания);
Die Vögelein (птички: das Vög(e)lein; der Vogel — птица) schweigen im Walde (молчат в лесу: der Wald).
Warte nur (подожди только), balde (скоро: bald)
Ruhest du auch (ты тоже отдохнешь, обретешь покой).
