1. Vor meinem Bette heller Mondenglanz

Vor meinem Bette heller Mondenglanz,
Als überdeckte Reif den Boden ganz.
Das Haupt erheb' ich, seh' zum stillen Mond,
Senk' es und denke meines Heimatlands.

2. Und wie manche Nacht...  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Und wie manche Nacht
bin ich aufgewacht,
lag so hell der Mond auf Bett und Schrein!
Sah ins Tal hinaus,
traumhell stand dein Haus,
tiefer träumend schlief ich wieder ein.

Text Authorship:

  • by Hans Carossa (1878 - 1956)
