4. Die Sommernacht  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ich sah die Nacht. Sie schritt vor mir daher,
ein herrlich Weib, gehüllt in Nebelschleier,
das Haupt gesenkt, wie von Gedanken schwer,
die Augen blitzend von verhalt'nem Feuer.

Durchsichtig war sie, Äther nur und Duft,
Ausströmend doch glutheißen Atems Wogen.
Nichts regte sich, und doch kam's durch die Luft
wie leises Liebeswort mir zugeflogen.

Es bannte mich, als riefe sie mir zu,
als lockte sie zu süßer Liebesfeier.
Ich folgte ihr, schritt ohne Rast und Ruh',
erfüllt von ihrem Schatten, ihrem Feuer.

4. Летная ночь  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: Russian (Русский) 
Я видел ночь. Она передо мной
Вся в черном шла, [прекрасная, живая]1,
Волшебница с поникшей головой,
Зарницами, как взглядами сверкая.

Прозрачен был её воздушный стан;
Но чуял я дыханья знойный трепет,
И в тишине, как ласковый обман
Незримых уст, призывный нёсся лепет.

Казалось мне, [желанная]2 зовёт
Меня с собой к любви и наслажденью.
И я всё шёл, всё шёл за ней вперёд,
Объятый весь огнём её и тенью!

5. Звёзды  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: Russian (Русский) 
Я долго стоял неподвижно,
В далёкие звёзды вглядясь, —
Меж теми звездами и мною
Какая-то связь родилась.

Я думал… не помню, что думал;
Я слушал таинственный хор,
И звёзды тихонько дрожали,
И звёзды люблю я с тех пор…
