Mitternacht
 (Sung text for setting by A. Bruckner)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Die Blumen glüh'n im Mondenlicht
Der märchenschönen Mitternacht.
Im Baume unten, blütendicht,
Der Sterne Glanz sich flimmernd bricht;
Sie kosen mit der Blätterpracht,
Im süßen Zauber der Mitternacht!

Die Lüfte geh'n so weich, so hehr,
Wie ferner Dome Glockenklang;
Mir ist das Herz so andachtsschwer,
Es rauscht um mich wie Gotteslehr',
Wie Orgelton und Feiersang
Im süßen Zauber der Mitternacht.
