Vorabend
Language: German (Deutsch)
Nun, Liebster, geh und scheide, die letzte Trennung leide, die noch uns trennet Beide. Nun laß uns ruhn und träumen, daß wir keine Stunde versäumen, die morgen kommen mag, nun, Liebster, geh, nun scheide, morgen ist auch noch ein Tag, morgen! morgen! Nun, Liebster, geh, nun scheide, bis wir im Feierkleide uns wiedersehen Beide, bis uns für immer einet das Licht, das morgen scheinet der schönsten Stunde Schlag, nun, Liebster, geh, nun scheide, morgen ist auch noch ein Tag, morgen! morgen!

Evening
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
Now, Love, 'tis time to sever, This only parting over, Naught separates us ever. Rest we in peaceful dreaming, So wake we with the streaming of sunlight's earliest ray, Now, Love, 'tis time to sever, Morning shall bring a new day, morning! morning! Now, Love, 'tis time to sever, Till we in bright attire Shall meet again for ever, Until in light of morning, Life's brightest moment dawning, The joyous bells shall ring, Now, dearest, we must sever, Morning a new day shall bring, morning! morning!
