Es nachtet schon, die Straße ruht, Seitab treibt mit verschlafenen Schlägen Der Strom mit seiner trägen Flut Der stummen Finsternis entgegen. Er rauscht in seinem tiefen Bett So wegverdrossen, rauh und schwer, Als ob er Lust zu ruhen hätt, Und ich bin wohl so müd wie er. Das ist durch Nacht und fremdes Land Ein traurig Miteinanderziehn, Ein Wandern stumm und unverwandt Zu zwein, und keiner weiß wohin.

2. Der Wind ruht in den Ästen  [sung text checked 1 time]
Der Wind ruht in den Ästen, Und schaukelt sich müde nur, Es klingt wie von fernen Festen Eines Liedes schwindende Spur. Mein Glück ist schlafen gangen, Und [lacht]1 nur halb im Traum Mit schönen, schmalen Wangen [Und schönen]2 Lippen kaum. Meine Liebe legt sich nieder In meines Liedes Schoß Und dehnt [ihre feinen]3 Glieder Und [machet]4 die Augen groß. [Der Verse]5 leichte Zügel Fallen mir aus der Hand, Mein Lied lenkt seine Flügel In ein grünes Schlummerland.

3. Der stille Hof  [sung text checked 1 time]
Ein [Hof]1 liegt in der stillen Nacht, Ein Bauernhof, drin keiner wacht Und keiner wache Nächte kennt. Ein Heimatzauber kommt von dir Und weht in die Gedanken mir Den Frieden, den kein Name nennt.
