by Carl Zettel (1831 - 1904)

Waldesnacht
Language: German (Deutsch) 
O süße Waldesnacht! 
Geheime dunkle Pracht! 
Wenn deine Zauber winken, 
Möcht' ich in dir versinken, 
O süße Waldesnacht! 

O süße Waldesnacht! 
Wenn mir dein Friede lacht, 
Dann fühl ich mich gesunden 
Von allen Lebenswunden, 
O süße Waldesnacht! 

O süße Waldesnacht! 
Du hast mir Muth gebracht! 
Zum wilden Kampf im Leben 
Hast du mir Kraft gegeben, 
O süße Waldesnacht! 

Confirmed with Carl Zettel, Erste Klänge, Eichstätt & Stuttgart: Krüll'sche Buchhandlung, 1869, page 67. Appears in Herz und Welt.
