Nachtlied
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Komm, süße Nacht, mit deinem Feierkleid,
du Engel an des Tages frischem Grabe,
komm mit des sanften Schlummers Wundergabe,
du stumme Bürgin der Unsterblichkeit!

Komm, holder Mond, ich folge deiner Bahn,
ich folg' dir nach in unerreichte Weiten,
wo Himmelslieder von den Seelen gleiten,
die hier vollendet ihre Lebensbahn.

Komm, süße Nacht, senk' deinen Schleier ab,
deck' uns're Erde mit der Ruhe Flügel!
Lebt wohl, ihr alle unterm grünen Hügel,
die Liebe überwindet Tod und Grab!
