Schwebe, Mond, im tiefen Blau
Language: German (Deutsch)
Schwebe, Mond, im tiefen Blau Über [Berg und Höhn]1, [Sprudle Wasser]2, blinke Thau! Nacht, wie bist du schön! Spiegle See den reinen Strahl! Friedeathmend lind Durch das wiesenhelle Thal Walle, weicher Wind! Wie durch einen Zauberschlag Bin ich umgestimmt Von Gedanken, die der Tag Bringt und wieder nimmt. Daß es auch ein Sterben gibt, Fühl ich ohne Schmerz, Was ich liebe, was mich liebt, Geht mir still durchs Herz.

Evening
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
Sail, fair moon, through heaven's blue, Over mountain height Sparkle wavelet twinkle dew! Beauteous art thou night. Mirrored on thy bosom, sea Hold the peaceful ray While across the snow white lea, Zephyrs lightly play. 'Tis as tho' some magic pow'r Banished at this hour Thoughts and fancies that the day brings and takes away, And I feel that death must be Yet I cannot grieve, What I love and what loves me In my heart doth live.
