3. Good night  [sung text checked 1 time]
Language: English
Good night! The crimson scented rose Droops low her pretty head And the little grasses long ago Their evening prayers have said. Night’s starry eyes are blinking At the moonbeam's silvery light While the lily hides her golden heart And whispers soft, -- “Good night” The wind is idly rocking The songbird in its nest And a silence deep is brooding O’er the sleeping world at rest. A sweet good night to you, dear heart -- A morn with radiance bright, And be it night or be it day -- God keep you, [dear]1, good night!

4. Canzonetta  [sung text not yet checked]
Language: French (Français)
Avec l'oubli des jours moroses, Sous le ciel devenu plus clair, Respirons l'haleine des roses Mêlée aux caresses de l'air ! L'hiver s'est enfui d'un coup d'aile, Semant de neige le chemin Par où vient le printemps fidèle Avec des lilas dans la main. La neige fondra tout à l'heure. Les lilas mourront à leur tour ! Car, seule, éternelle demeure La fleur divine de l'amour.
