Über die beglänzten Gipfel
Fernher kommt es wie ein Grüßen,
Flüsternd neigen sich die Wipfel
Als ob sie sich wollten küssen.

Ist er doch so schön und milde!
Stimmen gehen durch die Nacht,
Singen heimlich von dem Bilde -
Ach, ich bin so froh erwacht!

Plaudert nicht so laut, ihr Quellen!
Wissen darf es nicht der Morgen!
In der Mondnacht linde Wellen
Senk ich still mein Glück und Sorgen. -
