Die Nacht kam her so wundervoll
Language: German (Deutsch)
Die Nacht kam her so wundervoll
Wie ein von Gott gesandtes Grüssen;
Der Mond, der aus dem Dunklen schwoll,
Schien alle Wehmut zu versüssen.
Mein Herz, das mir im Busen schwoll,
Das wusste nur von deiner Milde;
Die Nacht kam her so zaubervoll,
Als grüsste sie mit deinem Bilde

The night came hither so wondrously
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
The night came hither so wondrously
Like a greeting sent from God;
The moon that was swelling from out of the darkness
Seemed to sweeten all melancholy.
My heart that was swelling within my bosom,
It knew solely of your gentleness;
The night came hither so magically,
As if it were greeting me with your image.
