In den Bäumen regt sich's leise, Mondschein durch die Zweige bricht. Hier und dort ein Laut der Rüden, Hier und dort ein einsam Licht. Nacht liegt über Thal und Bergen. Und ich wand're durch die Nacht Dir entgegen -- sehnsuchtbebend, Dir entgegen -- sachte, sacht!

Als arbres hi ha un bellugar sense fer fressa, la claror de la lluna s’entreveu per les branques. Aquí i allà, un lladruc de gossos, aquí i allà, una llum solitària. La nit ha caigut per valls i muntanyes. I jo camino per la nit al teu encontre – tremolant de desig, al teu encontre – suau, suaument!
