Our translations: CAT DUT ENG ENG FIN FRE

Der Mond kommt still gegangen
Mit seinem goldnen Schein,
Da schläft in holdem Prangen 
Die müde Erde ein.

 ... 

Und auf den Lüften schwanken
Aus manchem treuen Sinn
Viel tausend Liebesgedanken
Über die Schläfer hin.

Und drunten im Thale, da funkeln
Die Fenster von Liebchens Haus;
Ich aber blicke im Dunkeln
Still in die Welt hinaus.

De maan komt stil gevaren

(Sung text translation for setting by C. Schumann)

See original

Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the German (Deutsch)

De maan komt stil gevaren,
Verlicht de hemelkust;
Dan komt de moeë aarde
In ’t lieve licht tot rust.

 ... 

En op de winden komen
Uit ’t hart van menigeen
Ontelbare liefdesdromen
Over de slapers heen.

‘k Zie onder in ’t dal daar
 geflonker
In liefjes huis, heel zacht;
Ik echter staar in het donker
Stil in de wijde nacht.

Note: the text above is taken from stanzas 1,3-4 of the original text.
