Melodie
Language: German (Deutsch)
Es blüht der Mond, und duftet Liliendüfte,
Und still, ein dunkler Schmetterling der Nacht,
Schwebt meine Seele durch die bleichen Lüfte
Hin wo die Sternenblume einsam wacht.
O daß ihr silberblauer Kelch sich schlösse,
Berührt von meiner Seele samtnen Flügeln,
Damit ich leuchtend durch den Himmel flösse,
Fern von der Erde träumerischen Hügeln.

Mélodie
Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
La lune fleurit et le parfum du lis embaume ,
Et silencieuse, sombre papillon de la nuit,
Dans les airs blêmes, mon âme plane
Vers où la fleur des étoiles veille solitaire.
Ô que son calice d'argent bleuté se ferme
Au toucher de l'aile de soie de mon âme
Avec laquelle, étincelante je parcours le ciel,
Loin des collines rêveuses de la terre.
