Nachtgesang
 (Sung text for setting by F. Chwatal)
 Matches base text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Nacht, o Nacht! Du heil'ge Nacht!
Breitest deinen Friedensschleier
über Wiese, Wald und Weiher,
wehest, süße, süße Ruh'
liebend allen Müden zu.

Nacht, o Nacht! Du heil'ge Nacht!
Hebest uns in Traumgebilden
auf zu höheren Gefilden,
leitest lächelnd uns zum Glück;
kehrten nie doch wir zurück!

Nacht, o Nacht! Du heil'ge Nacht!
Lass auch jetzt in deinem Arme
ruhen mich nach langem Harme,
webe Liebchen hold und mild
tröstend in mein Traumgebild!

Composition:

    Set to music by Franz Xaver Chwatal (1808 - 1879), "Nachtgesang" [ TTBB chorus ]
