Schöne Nacht,
Gestirne wandeln
Heilig über dir,
Und des Tags bewegtes Handeln,
Stillt zum Traum sich hier.

Was ich sehne,
Was ich fühle
Ist nun doppelt mein,
Ach in deiner keuschen Kühle,
Wird es gut und rein.

Und so bringst du
Diese Erde,
Bringst mein Herz zur Ruh,
Daß es still und stiller werde,
Schöne Nacht wie du.
