Gut' Nacht fahr' wohl mein treues Herz
 (Sung text for setting by F. Kücken)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Gut' Nacht, fahr wohl!
mein treues Herz,
Zu tausend gute Nacht!
Wie hab' ich einst
oft
in Wonn' und Schmerz
Herzinnig dein gedacht!
 ... 

Bist fern, doch bleibt
Dein Bild mein Traum,
Mein Stern in dunkler Nacht.
Der glänzet hell am Wolkensaum,
Wo Leid und Liebe wacht.
 ... 

 ... 

Ich seh' dein ganzes Herz im Blick,
Wie Himmel in der Flut.
Gut' Nacht! fahr wohl,
Du all' mein Glück!
Mein Herz an deinem ruht.
 ... 

Sonst hab ich nichts,
Ach nichts von dir,
Als diesen Blick allein,
Und wichest ewig du von mir,
Sein Blick bleibt ewig mein.
 ... 

 ...
