Ruhn sie? rufet das Horn des Wächters drüben aus Westen, 
  Und aus Osten das Horn rufet entgegen: Sie ruhn!
Hörst du, zagendes Herz, die flüsternden Stimmen der Engel? 
  Lösche die Lampe getrost, hülle in Frieden dich ein.

Veille de nuit

(Sung text translation for setting by J. Brahms)

See original

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

 ... 

5
Se reposent-ils ? l'appel du cor du veilleur retentit à l'ouest,
Et à l'est le cor envoie une réponse : Ils se reposent.
Entends-tu, cœur hésitant, les chuchotements des anges ?
Éteins la lampe tranquillement, couvre-toi en paix.
