Wir müssen, Geliebteste, leise
Hinschreiten, ich und du.
Es schläft eine Sangesweise
In Waldes nächtlicher Ruh.
 
Verstummt sind Winde und Wellen
Und aller Singvögelein Mund,
Schweigend rinnen die Quellen
Blank über moosigen Grund.
 
Des Mondlichts stiller Reigen
Durchspielt das Buchengeheg,
Es schlummert in süssem Schweigen
Ein silberner Streif am Weg.
 
Die Wolken selber droben
Schweben auf Flügeln breit
Und schaun von Glanz umwoben
In die Waldeseinsamkeit.
 
Wie Wind' und Wellen leise
Hinschreiten wir, ich und du.
Es schläft eine Sangesweise
In Waldes nächtlicher Ruh.
