Nachtlied
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Stille deckt die weite Flur,
alles ruht in tiefem Schlummer,
leise Träume walten nur,
Freude schweigt, es schweigt der Kummer.
Alles schläft in sanfter Nacht,
doch das Aug' der Liebe wacht.

Leiser rauscht der Wasserfall
durch der Nacht geheimes Walten,
leis' und süß der Nachtigall
Zaubertöne sich entfalten.
Sternlein blinkt in heller Pracht,
und das Aug' der Liebe wacht.

Schlumm're sanft, du süßes Bild,
ruhe wohl, mein holdes Leben!
Mögen Träume, lieb und mild,
freundlich deine Ruh' umschweben!
Schlumm're süß in heil'ger Nacht,
denn das Aug' der Liebe wacht.
