by Rudolf Georg Binding (1867 - 1938)

Schlaf ein, o Mond
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Schlaf ein, o Mond,
Schlaf ein auf meinem Becher.
Ich seh dir zu.
Ich seh dir zu, o Mond, – ein Zecher
So still wie du.

So still wie du,
Mit dir und fast gestorben
Durchwandle ich ein nächtliches Bereich.
Wir sehn uns zu.
Du trinkst aus meinem Becher:
Und wir sind gleich.

Confirmed with Insel-Almanach auf das Jahr 1938, Leipzig.
