Nun der Tag mich müd gemacht, Soll mein sehnliches Verlangen Freundlich die gestirnte Nacht Wie ein müdes Kind empfangen. Hände, laßt von allem Tun, Stirn vergiß du alles Denken, Alle meine Sinne nun Wollen sich in Schlummer senken. Und die Seele unbewacht Will in freien Flügen schweben, Um im Zauberkreis der Nacht Tief und tausendfach zu leben.

Wurch fan 't lange oerdeisskoft Sil myn ynlikste ferlangen Leafdefol de stjerreloft As in wurch bern ûntfange. Hannen, gun jimsels no rêst, Holle, wol no net mear tinke; Al myn sinnen op it lêst Wolle no yn sliep fersinke. En de siele wol fol nocht Sweevjend nei syn frijheid stribje, Om yn 't nachtlik toverskoft Djip en tûzenris te libjen.
