Language: German (Deutsch)
[Nun]1 liegt die Welt im Traume, Berauscht von Glanz und Duft -- Kein Blatt regt sich am Baume, Kein Vöglein in der Luft. Die müden Sterne neigen Zur Ruh' schon ihren Lauf, Doch mir im Herzen steigen Noch schön're Sterne auf. Was mir der Tag beschieden, Ward sorglos nie vollbracht, Doch selig ist der Frieden Der stillen [heiligen]2 Nacht!

1. Summer night
Language: English
The world [now]1 lies dreaming, Intoxicated with radiance and scent -- No leaf moves upon the tree, No bird [moves] in the air. The weary stars are already Wending their way to rest, But in my heart there arise Even more beautiful stars. That which the day presented to me Was never accomplished without anxieties, But blessed is the peace Of the quiet, holy night!
