by Anna (Nuhn) Ritter (1865 - 1921)

In verschwiegener Nacht
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT ENG FRE
In verschwiegener Nacht
Hab' ich deiner gedacht
Und mit sehnendem Gruß
Dich gegrüßet.

Hab' geweint und gelacht
In der heimlichen Nacht
Und mit [seligem]1 Kuß
Dich geküsset.

Als das Morgenlicht kam
Und die Träume mir nahm,
Hab' ich einsam die Wonne
Gebüßet.
