11The starry night shall comfort bring:The starry night shall tidings 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.

66It will perch on a heathy swellLook not around, look not beneath,
77Against the light of the coming moon;But mutely trace its airy way;
88Then, poor wretch, thy misery tell:Mark where it lights upon the heath,
99Thou shalt have the wished-for boon.Then wanderer kneel thee down and pray.
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!
