possibly by Ferdinand Gumbert (1818 - 1896)

Ständchen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wenn alles schläft in stiller Nacht,
dann ist's mein Auge, das noch wacht;
es denket nur der Augen dein,
in die es schaut so gern hinein.
Mit Freudentränen füllt es sich,
es sieht nur dich und immer dich.

Wenn alles schläft in stiller Nacht,
dann ist's mein Mund, der stets noch wacht;
er denkt an deinen roten Mund,
den es geküsst in del'ger Stund'.
Er betet für dich, du Liebstes mein,
und schläft mit deinem Namen ein.

Wenn alles schläft in stiller Nacht,
dann ist's mein Herze, das noch wacht;
es zählt die Stunde, die entflieht,
bis es das Liebste wiedersieht.
Mein Herz pocht laut und wonniglich,
es schlägt allein für dich, für dich!

Note: the Gumbert score says "Gedicht (Manuscript) von F. G." so we believe the text is by Gumbert.
