Lass dich belauschen, Du stille Nacht! Nur Wasser rauschen, Nur Liebe wacht. Vom Walde drüben Tönt süsser Schall, Es singt von Liebe Die Nachtigall. Der Vogel schweiget, Der Mond entwich, Zur Blume neiget Die Blume sich. Der Liebe Fülle Durchströmt die Flur, In Nacht und Stille Sinkt die Natur.

Let me eavesdrop upon you, You quiet night! Only the waters are murmuring, Only love is awake. From the forest over yonder A sweet sound rings out, The nightingale Is singing of love. The bird falls silent, The moon has vanished, Flower inclines itself To flower. The fullness of love Perfuses the lea, Into night and silence Nature sinks.
