by Friedrich Ruperti (1805 - 1867)

Wie Mondenschein so golden
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wie Mondenschein so golden
sich auf das Haus ergießt,
wo Schlummer nun der Holden
die lieben Augen schließt.

Ach, aller süße Frieden,
der von mir Armem wich,
er werde dir beschieden,
er senke sich auf dich!

Verscheuche jeden Kummer, 
o Mond, von ihrer Ruh'
und führe ihrem Schlummer
die schönsten Träume zu!
