by Conrad Ferdinand Meyer (1825 - 1898)

Unruhige Nacht
 (Sung text for setting by H. Zumpe)
 Matches original text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE
Heut' ward mir bis zum jungen Tag
Der Schlummer abgebrochen,
Im Herzen ging es Schlag auf Schlag
Mit Hämmern und mit Pochen,

Als trieb sich eine Bubenschar
Wild um in beiden Kammern,
Gewährt hat, bis es Morgen war,
Das Klopfen und das Hammern.

Nun weist es sich bei Tagesschein,
Was drin geschafft die Rangen,
Sie haben mir im Herzensschrein
Dein Bildnis aufgehangen!
