by Wilhelm Wackernagel (1806 - 1869)

O du mein Mond in stiller Nacht
Language: German (Deutsch) 
O du mein Mond in stiller Nacht,
Der über mir am Himmel wacht,
Und mit mir wacht und mit mir träumet,
Und wenn ich schlafe, meinen Traum
Mit duft'gem Silber säumet!

Du immer nah und immer fern,
Mein Morgenstern, mein Abendstern,
Vorbotin aller Wonne!
Und alle Wonne selber du,
Du Mond, du Stern, du Sonne!

O du mein Leid, du meine Lust!
Du, eine Ros' an meiner Brust,
Ein Dorn in meinem Herzen!
Ich drück' ihn tief in's Herz hinein,
Und liebe dich mit Schmerzen.

Note for stanza 2, line 3, word 3: in Lindpaintner's score, this is "Sterne", probably an editor's mistake.
