Beginne deine heilge Feier,
erleuchte dich mit Sternenpracht,
o hülle mich in deine Schleier,
du linde Nacht!

Das wilde Herz, das ziellos irrte,
geleite du zur selgen Ruh',
und was der laute Tag verwirrte,
beschwichtge du!

O mindre du der Sehnsucht Fülle,
o lindre du der Sehnsucht Pein,
o führ' in meines Busens Stille
den Himmel ein!
