Um Mitternacht
 (Sung text for setting by A. Zemlinsky)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE
Nun ruht und schlummert Alles,
Die Menschen, der Wald und Wind,
Das Wasser leisen Falles
Nur durch die Blumen rinnt.

Der Mond mit vollem Scheine
Ruht breit auf jedem Dach;
In weitem Wald alleine
Bin ich zur Stunde noch wach.

Und Alles, Lust und Schmerzen,
Bracht' ich in mir zur Ruh;
Nur Eins noch wacht im Herzen,
Nur Eins: und das bist Du!

Und Deines Bildes Friede
Folgt mir in Zeit und Raum:
Bei Tage wird er zum Liede,
Und Nachts wird er zum Traum!
