Wir müssen, Geliebteste, leise Hinschreiten, ich und du. Es schläft eine Sangesweise In Waldes nächtlicher Ruh. Verstummt sind Winde und Wellen Und aller Singvögelein Mund, Schweigend rinnen die Quellen Blank über moosigen Grund. Des Mondlichts stiller Reigen Durchspielt das Buchengeheg, Es schlummert in süssem Schweigen Ein silberner Streif am Weg. Die Wolken selber droben Schweben auf Flügeln breit Und schaun von Glanz umwoben In die Waldeseinsamkeit. Wie Wind' und Wellen leise Hinschreiten wir, ich und du. Es schläft eine Sangesweise In Waldes nächtlicher Ruh.
F. Schreker sets stanzas 1-4

We must, my most beloved, walk Quietly hither, I and you. A melody of song is sleeping In the nocturnal peace of the forest. The winds and the waves have fallen mute And all the beaks of the songbirds, Silently the water-springs flow Shiningly over the mossy hollow. The quiet roundelay of moonlight Plays through the beechwood close, In sweet silence there slumbers A silver bar of light along the path. The clouds themselves above Are floating on broad pinions And, woven about with radiance, They gaze into the forest solitude. Like the winds and waves, quietly We must walk hither, I and you. A melody of song is sleeping In the nocturnal peace of the forest.
