In der Mondnacht
 (Sung text for setting by J. Grimm)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE
In der Mondnacht, in der Frühlingsmondnacht
Gehen Engel um auf leisen Sohlen;
Blonde Engel, innig und verstohlen,
Küssen sie die schönsten Blumen.

Süßes Herzlieb, allerschönste Blume,
Weiß es wohl, woher die Glorie stammet,
Der dir heut das Antlitz überflammet:
Bist noch in dem Traum der Nacht verloren.

Denkst der Engel, die durchs off'ne Fenster
Sich auf Mondesstrahlen zu dir schwangen,
Hauchten leisen Kuss auf Mund und Wangen
In der Mondnacht, in der Frühlingsmondnacht.
