Strahlender Mond, der am Himmelszelt thront
 (Sung text for setting by E. Künneke)
 Matches base text

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Strahlender Mond, der am Himmelszelt thront,
Nachts zu dir steigen auf meine Lieder,
Strahlender Mond, der am Himmelszelt thront,
Tön', o töne dem Liebsten sie wieder!

Nimm meine Küsse, Trauter du;
Trag' sie dem fernen Liebsten zu,
Strahlender Mond, der am Himmelszelt thront,
Sei mein Bote du!

Sei mein Bote für süße Gedanken
Die im Herzen mir keimen und ranken
Und die ich nicht sagen ihm kann,
Ja all' mein Wünschen, mein Lieben, mein Schwanken
Ja nur dir, dir vertrau' ich sie an!
