Zwei Nachtgesänge für Männerchor

Song Cycle by Johannes Pache (1857 - 1897)

1. Ständchen  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
In dem Himmel ruht die Erde,
Mond und Sterne halten Wacht,
Auf der Erd' ein kleiner Garten
Schlummert in der Blumen Pracht.
Gute Nacht, gute Nacht!

In dem Garten steht ein Häuschen,
[Still]1 von Linden überdacht;
[Vor dem kleinen]2 Erkerfenster
Hält ein [Vogel]3 singend Wacht.
Gute Nacht, gute Nacht!

In dem Erker schläft ein Mädchen,
[Träumet]4 von der Blumenpracht;
Ihr im Herzen ruht [der]5 Himmel,
D'rin die [Engel]6 halten Wacht.
Gute Nacht, gute Nacht!
