by Karl Stieler (1842 - 1885)

Es glänzt die laue Mondennacht
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  DUT
Es glänzt die laue Mondennacht,
  Die alten Giebel ragen;
Das Bündel ist zurechtgemacht,
  [Im]1 Torweg steht der Wagen.

Und unterm Torweg [standen]2 zwei,
  Kein Dritter stand daneben,
Die sprachen [noch]3 von Lieb' und Treu',
  [Dann geht's hinaus]4 ins Leben.

Das letzte Röslein gab sie ihm
  Und gab ihm beide Hände
Und küsste ihn [sacht - und wie er ging]5,
  Da [ging]6 ihr Trost zu Ende.

Der Hufschlag [dröhnt, das Posthorn schallt]7,
  [Durch's Tor hin rollt]8 der Wagen,
Ihr [war]9, als hätt' er all ihr Glück
  Im Bündel fort getragen.
