Wie lang' die Nacht
 (Sung text for setting by A. Wallnöfer)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wie lang',
o wie so lang' die Nacht,
wenn draußen der Regen tropft!
Wie bang,
o wie so bang sich's wacht,
wenn ans Herz die Reue klopft!

Wie gern,
wie vergäß' ich so gern mein Leid
und die Qualen im Schlummer tief,
doch fern,
o für immerdar fern die Zeit,
da ich zukunftsträumend noch schlief!

 ... 

O Hauch,
o tröstender Hauch der Nacht,
alle Stürme beschwichtigst du;
küss' auch,
o küsse du auch nun sacht
mir die brennende Wimper zu!

Composition:

    Set to music by Adolf Wallnöfer (1854 - 1946), "Wie lang' die Nacht", op. 57 no. 5, stanzas 1-2,5 [ voice and piano ]
