1. Le chant de nuit du voyageur I
Language: French (Français) 
Toi qui es du ciel,
Tu calmes peines et souffrances,
Celui qui est deux fois plus misérable,
Tu le réconfortes doublement,
Ah, je suis fatigué de courir !
Pourquoi tous ces tourments et plaisirs ?
Douce paix,
Viens, ah viens en mon cœur !

2. An die Melancholie  [sung text not yet checked]
by Ferdinand Sieber (1822 - 1895), "An die Melancholie", op. 23 (Drei Gesänge für Bass-Stimme mit Pianoforte) no. 2, published 1856 [ bass and piano ], Magdeburg, Heinrichshofen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Du geleitest mich [durch's Leben]1,
[Sinnende]2 Melancholie!
Mag mein Stern sich strahlend heben,
Mag er sinken - weichest nie!

Führst mich oft in Felsenklüfte,
Wo der Adler einsam haust,
Tannen starren in die Lüfte
Und der Waldstrom donnernd braust.

Meiner [Todten]3 dann gedenk' ich,
Wild hervor [die]4 Thräne bricht,
Und an deinen Busen senk' ich
Mein umnachtet Angesicht.

2. À la mélancolie
Language: French (Français) 
Tu m'accompagnes à travers la vie,
Rêveuse mélancolie !
Que mon étoile s'élève en brillant,
Qu'elle sombre, tu ne disparais jamais !

Tu me conduis souvent dans les cavernes rocheuses,
Là l'aigle solitaire habite,
Les sapins fixent l'espace
Et le torrent de la forêt dévale en grondant.

Alors je pense à mes morts,
Mes larmes jaillissent avec violence,
Et je penche sur ta poitrine
Mon visage entouré de nuit.
