by Johann Nepomuk Vogl (1802 - 1866)

Nächtlicher Gruss
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Schlaftrunken hängt auf Strauch und Bäumen 
Der bleiche Mond, es schweigt der Hain, 
Die Wolken zieh'n in stummen Träumen, 
Die Lieb', die Liebe wacht allein. 

Gleichwie der See im weiten Kreise
Kaum hörbar schlägt an's Felsgestein, 
So naht's auch dir und flüstert leise: 
Die Lieb', die Liebe wacht allein. 

Nicht wecke dich des Sängers Kehle, 
Erschließend deiner Augen Schein, 
Doch kling' es leis' durch deine Seele: 
Die Lieb', die Liebe wacht allein! 

Confirmed with Johann Nepomuk Vogl, Neue Gedichte, Leipzig: Christian Ernst Kollmann, 1856, page 90.
