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. Bona nit
Language: Catalan (Català) 
Els cims i les valls s'enfonsen
cada vegada més profundament en l'or del capvespre;
a les branques, un ocellet pregunta
si caldria saludar la meva estimada.

Oh ocellet, t'has equivocat,
ella ja no viu a la vall,
aixeca el vol cap a la volta celestial
i, allà dalt, saluda-la per darrera vegada.

2. Wanderers Nachtlied  [sung text not yet checked]
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
Ist Ruh',
In allen Wipfeln
Spürest du
Kaum einen Hauch;
Die [Vögelein]2 schweigen im Walde.
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)

Language: Catalan (Català) 
Damunt tots els cims
regna la pau,
en totes les capçades
perceps a penes
una alenada;
al bosc els ocellets callen,
espera només, aviat
reposaràs tu també.

Und in nimmersatter Qual
Mir das Herz damit gebrochen.

3.
Language: Catalan (Català) 
Adéu! No pots copsar
el significat d’aquesta dolorosa paraula;
amb semblant confiat
la pronunciares amb lleugeresa.

Adéu! Ai, mil vegades
l’he repetit
i amb un turment insaciable
m’ha fet partir el cor.
