Juli. Holde Nacht
 (Sung text for setting by H. Schletterer)
 Matches original text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Holde Nacht! Durch Buchenwipfel
Scheint der volle Mond in's Thal;
Auf des Berges breitem Gipfel
Ruht sein blasser Silberstrahl.

Tiefe Stille in den Wäldern,
Keine Luft in Baum und Strauch;
Aber weithin auf den Feldern
Wandelt leiser Nebelhauch.

Und so laß die Seele schweifen,
Aufgelöst in Traum und Duft,
Bald die Erde zitternd streifen,
Bald verwehn in Himmelsluft!--
