Über Nacht
 (Sung text for setting by H. Wolf)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT ENG FRE
Über Nacht, über Nacht
Kommt still das Leid,
Und bist du erwacht,
O traurige Zeit!
Du grüßest den dämmernden Morgen
Mit Weinen und mit Sorgen.

Über Nacht, über Nacht
Kommt still das Glück
Und bist du erwacht,
O selig Geschick!
Der düstre Traum ist zerronnen,
Und Freude ist gewonnen.

Über Nacht, über Nacht
Kommt Freud und Leid,
Und eh du's gedacht,
Verlassen dich beid
Und gehen, dem Herrn zu sagen,
Wie du sie getragen.
