You can help us modernize! The present website has been online for a very long time and we want to bring it up to date. As of May 6, we are $2,380 away from our goal of $15,000 to fund the project. The fully redesigned site will be better for mobile, easier to read and navigate, and ready for the next decade. Please give today to join dozens of other supporters in making this important overhaul possible!

Nachtlied

Language: German (Deutsch) 

Bist du schlafen gangen,
Hast genug gewacht?
Hält dich Traum umfangen?
Liebe, gute Nacht!

Hält der Traum umfangen
Dämmernd, still und sacht,
Deine Rosenwangen?
Süße, gute Nacht!

Lächeln deine Wangen
Mit der Rosen Pracht?
Wie die Sternlein prangen!
Holde, gute Nacht!

Wenn der Sternlein Prangen
Mir durch Tränen lacht,
Weicht von mir das Bangen.
Schwester, gute Nacht!

Weicht von mir das Bangen,
Hab ich ausgeklagt.
Bist du schlafen gangen?
Liebe, gute Nacht!
