Botschaft
 (Sung text for setting by E. Hanslick)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Mondenschein, stiller Mondenschein,
Eile zu ihrem Kämmerlein!
Du sollst sie oftmals grüßen,
Mondenschein, du darfst sie küssen!
Willst du mein Bote sein?

Nachtigall, traute Nachtigall,
Flieg' mit deinem Liederschall,
Flieg' zu ihr und sage,
Dass ich sie im Herzen trage
Ueberall, überall!

Rosenduft, süßer Rosenduft,
Schwinge durch die Abendluft,
Eile hin mit deinem Wehen!
Schmeichler, sie wird's wohl verstehen,
Daß dich die Liebe ruft!

 ... 

Note: when stanza 1, line 5 is repeated in Hanslick's song, it becomes "Willst du wohl mein Bote sein?"
