1. Mondfriede  [sung text not yet checked]
by John H. Powell (1882 - 1963), "Mondfriede", op. 18 no. 1, published 1924
Language: German (Deutsch) 
     Nacht liegt auf den fremden Wegen, –
Krankes Herz und müde Glieder; –
Ach, da fließt, wie stiller Segen,
Süßer Mond, dein Licht hernieder.

     Süßer Mond, mit deinen Strahlen
Scheuchest du das nächt’ge Grauen;
Es zerrinnen meine Qualen,
Und die Augen überthauen.

Confirmed with Heinrich Heine, Buch der Lieder, Die Heimkehr, Hamburg, Hoffmann und Campe, 1827, page 256. Modern German would change the spelling of "überthauen" to "übertauen". First included in Rheinische Flora, no. 12


by Heinrich Heine (1797 - 1856)
1. Pau de la lluna
Language: Catalan (Català) 
La nit rau damunt els camins ignots,
un cor malalt i els membres cansats; --
Ai, com una plàcida benedicció,
oh dolça lluna, flueix cap a baix la teva llum.

Dolça lluna, amb els teus raigs
espantes l’horror de la nit;
les meves penes s’esvaeixen,
i els meus ulls vessen de llàgrimes.
