by Eduard Kreuzhage (1874 - 1956)

Hörst du die Nachtigallen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Hörst du die Nachtigallen, 
Wie sie voll Liebesmacht 
Sehnende Lieder tauschen? 
Himmel und Erde lauschen, 
Leise athmet die Nacht.  

Hier ist's heimlich und stille, 
Nur mein Auge wacht.  
Laß meinen Arm dich umschließen, 
Laßt deine Lippe mich küssen. 
Leise athmet die Nacht.  

Ferne zu uns herüber 
Tönet der Lieder Pracht. 
Selig von Wonne trunken, 
Ist uns die Welt versunken.  
Leise athmet die Nacht.
