by Wilhelmina Christiane von Chézy, née Klencke (1783 - 1856)

Gut' Nacht, fahr wohl!
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Gut' Nacht, fahr wohl!
Süß sanftes Herz,
Zu tausend gute Nacht!
Wie hab' ich nicht
in Wonn' und Schmerz
Herzinnig dein gedacht!
Gut' Nacht, fahr wohl!

Bist fern, doch bleibt
Dein Bild mein Traum,
Mein Stern in dunkler Nacht.
Der pranget hell am Wolkensaum,
Wo Leid und Liebe wacht.
Gut' Nacht, fahr wohl!

Sonst hab ich nichts,
Ach nichts von dir,
Als diesen Blick allein,
Und wichest ewig du von mir,
Sein Licht bleibt ewig mein.
Gut' Nacht, fahr wohl!

Ich sah dein ganzes Herz im Blick,
Wie Himmel in der Flut.
Gut' Nacht! fahr wohl,
Du all' mein Glück!
Mein Herz an deinem ruht.
Gut' Nacht, fahr wohl!
