Nachtlied
 (Sung text for setting by H. Reutter)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch)

Ich denk an Dich und gehe aus mir
Auf einem seligen Weg zu dir.
Dein Herz erschrickt in der Ferne.

In Deinem Garten gehst du allein.
Die Nacht ist kommen, der Mondenschein.
Uns beide sehen die Sterne.

Wie wunderbar dieses: der Erdenraum
Wird ein in sich selbst geschwundenes Kaum.
Dein Herz erschrickt in der Ferne.
Uns beide sehen die Sterne.
