Willkommen, o silberner Mond
Language: German (Deutsch)
Willkommen, o silberner Mond,
Schöner, stiller [Gefährt]1 der Nacht!
Du entfliehst? Eile nicht, bleib, Gedankenfreund!
Sehet, er bleibt, das Gewölk wallte nur hin.
Des Mayes Erwachen ist nur
Schöner noch wie die Sommernacht,
Wenn ihm Thau, hell wie Licht, aus der Locke träuft,
Und zu dem Hügel herauf röthlich er [kömt]2.
Ihr Edleren, ach es [bewächst]3
Eure Maale schon ernstes Moos!
O, wie [war glücklich]4 ich, als ich [noch]5 mit euch
Sahe sich röthen den Tag, schimmern die Nacht.
