Die Liebste mit lieblichem Lächeln
 (Sung text for setting by R. Steuer)
 Matches original text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Die Liebste mit lieblichem Lächeln
Hat meinen Schlummer bewacht,
O hellgestirnter Äther,
O einzig schöne Nacht!

Ich sah sich über mich neigen
Im Traum ihr holdes Gesicht,
Das sorgende sinnende Schweigen
Erschien ihr so süße Pflicht,

Ich bin an einem Verräther,
An ihrem Kuß erwacht,
O hellgestirnter Äther,
O einzig schöne Nacht!
