by Georg Hering , "Gute Nacht", op. 2 (Drei Lieder für gemischten Chor) no. 1, published 1879 [ mixed chorus a cappella ], Leipzig, (Friedrich)
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Die Höh'n und Wälder [schon]1 steigen
Immer tiefer in's Abendgold;
Ein Vöglein [frägt]2 in den Zweigen
Ob es Liebchen grüssen sollt'?

O Vöglein, du hast dich betrogen,
Sie wohnet nicht mehr im Tal,
Schwing' [auf dich]3 zum Himmelsbogen,
Grüss' sie droben zum letztenmal.

1 omitted by Zemlinsky.
2 Franz: "fragt" (typo?)
3 Randhartinger: "dich auf"

by Joseph Karl Benedikt, Freiherr von Eichendorff (1788 - 1857)
1. Bonne nuit
Language: French (Français) 
[Déjà]1 les hauteurs et les forêts s'enfoncent
Toujours plus profond dans les ors du soir ;
Dans les branches un oiseau demande
S'il doit saluer ma bien-aimée.

Ô oiseau, tu t'es trompé,
Elle n'habite plus la vallée
Prend ton envol vers la voûte céleste,
Et là-haut salue la pour la dernière fois.

by Georg Hering , "Wanderers Nachtlied", op. 2 (Drei Lieder für gemischten Chor) no. 2, published 1879 [ mixed chorus a cappella ], Leipzig, (Friedrich)
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Über allen [Gipfeln]1

Warte nur, balde
Ruhest du auch.3

Confirmed with Goethe's Werke. Vollständige Ausgabe letzter Hand. Erster Band. Stuttgart und Tübingen, in der J.G.Cotta'schen Buchhandlung. 1827, page 109; and with Goethe's Werke. Erster Band. Stuttgart und Tübingen, in der J. G. Cotta'schen Buchhandlung. 1815, page 99.

Note: in many older editions, the spelling of the capitalized word "über" becomes "Ueber", but this is often due to the printing process and not to rules of orthography, since the lower-case version is not "ueber", so we use "Über".

See also J.D. Falk's poem Unter allen Wipfeln ist Ruh.

1 Flügel, Gaugler, Hasse, Radecke: "Wipfeln" (according to the incipits given in Hofmeister) ; further changes may exist not noted above.
2 Greith, Schubert: "Vöglein"
3 Lachner adds
Über allen Wipfeln
Ist Ruh',
Balde
Ruhest du auch.

by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749 - 1832)
2. Le chant de nuit du voyageur II
Language: French (Français) 
Par-dessus les sommets
Il y a la paix
Au-dessus des cimes
Tu sens
À peine un souffle ;
Les petits oiseaux font silence en forêt,
Attends un peu, bientôt
Toi aussi tu te reposeras

3. Adieu !
Language: French (Français) 
Adieu ! Tu ne ressens pas
Ce que veut dire, ce mot de douleur ;
Avec un visage tranquille
Tu l'as dit et d'un cœur léger.

Adieu ! Hélas ! mille fois
Je l'ai prononcé en moi,
Et avec un tourment insatiable
J'ai brisé mon cœur avec lui !
