В эту лунную ночь, в эту дивную ночь, в этот миг благодатный свиданья, о, мой друг, я не в силах любви превозмочь, удержать я не в силах признанья! В серебре чуть колышется озера гладь... Наклонясь, зашепталися ивы... Но бессильны слова! Как тебе передать истомленного сердца порывы? Ночь не ждёт, ночь летит... Закатилась луна... заалело в таинственной дали.. Дорогая, прости! Снова жизни волна нам несёт день тоски и печали!

O, du mondhelle Nacht, o, du herrliche Nacht! Zu so seliger Wiedersehnsstunde, Sag' mein Lieb' , wie bezähm ich der Liebe Macht, Wie verschweige ich dir süße Kunde! Silbern blinken die Wellen im träumenden See... Und es flüstern die nickenden Weiden... Worte reichen nicht aus dir zu schildern das Weh Eines Herzens sein Hoffen, sein Leiden. Bald entfliehet die Nacht... Auch das Mondlicht erbleicht Und geheimnisvoll dämmert der Morgen... O, du Traute, leb' wohl! Sieh , das Leben, es reicht Uns den Bacher voll Kummer und Sorgen!
