by Nikolaus Lenau (1802 - 1850)

An Agnes
 (Sung text for setting by H. Marteau)
 Matches original text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  FRE
Wo kein Strahl des Lichtes blinket,
Wo kein Thau von Tränen sinket,
In die Stille nieder
Und hinaus in alle Weiten
Nächtlicher Vergessenheiten
Dringen deine Lieder.

Die entflohn und nicht mehr kamen,
Freuden mit verlornen Namen
Kannst du wiederbringen;
Lauschend treten alle Schmerzen
Leiser auf in meinem Herzen,
Hören sie dich singen.
