11The starry night shall tidings bring:The starry night shall comfort bring:
22Go out upon the breezy moor,Go out upon the breezy moor;
33Watch for a bird with sable wingWatch for a bird with sable wing
44And beak and talons dropping gore.And beak and talons dropping gore.
55
66Look not around, look not beneath,It will perch on a heathy swell
77But mutely trace its airy way;Against the light of the coming moon;
88Mark where it lights upon the heath,Then, poor wretch, thy misery tell:
99Then wanderer kneel thee down and pray.Thou shalt have the wished-for boon.
10
11What fortune may await thee there
12I will not and I dare not tell,
13But Heaven is moved by fervent prayer
14And God is mercy -- fare thee well!
