by Anton Weiß (1869 - 1940?)

Leise, leise, laßt uns singen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG
Leise, leise, laßt uns singen,
Still schon zieht der Mond die Bahn,
Sternlein süßen Gruß dir bringen.
Mög auch uns'rer zu dir dringen,
Stimmet d'rum ein Liedchen an:
Holde, erwache! Holde, erwache! 

Höre, höre uns're Weise,
Die der Zephir zu dir weht,
Die der Minne klingt zum Preise!
Öffne doch dein Fenster leise,
Unser zartes Liedchen fleht:
Holde, erwache! Holde, erwache! 

Leise, leise laßt uns singen,
Schlumm're sanft, wer schlummern will.
Möcht' es unserm Spiel gelingen,
Nur in ihren Traum zu klingen.
Laßt uns rufen, aber still:
Fanny, erwache! Fanny, erwache!
