Nun die Schatten dunkeln,
Stern an Stern erwacht:
Welch ein Hauch der Sehnsucht
Flutet durch die Nacht!

Durch das Meer der Träume
Steuert ohne Ruh',
Sehnend meine Seele
Deiner Seele zu.

Die sich dir ergeben,
Nimm sie ganz dahin!
Ach, du weißt, daß nimmer
Ich mein eigen bin.

Hans Hermann

Maintenant les ombres s'épaississent

(Sung text translation for setting by H. Hermann)

See original

Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)

Maintenant les ombres s'épaississent,
L'une après l'autre les étoiles s'éveillent :
Quel souffle de nostalgie
Afflue dans la nuit !

Dans la mer des rêves
Navigue sans repos,
Navigue, mon âme
Vers ton âme .

Tout ce qui arrive à toi,
Accueille-le complètement !
Ah tu le sais, jamais
Je ne serai plus moi-même.
