Our translations:  ENG
Wenn alles schläft in stiller Nacht,
  Die Liebe wacht.
Sie wandelt leise von Haus zu Haus,
Und theilt die schönsten Gaben aus;
Sie bringet Trost für altes Leid,
Bringt neue Lust und Fröhlichkeit. --
Laß, Liebe, deine Gabe mich sein,
Flicht mich in deine Träume mit ein,
Daß die, nach der mein Herz verlanget
Und sehnsuchtsglühend banget,
Im Träume mich sieht
Und hört mein Lied.
