by Wilhelm Conrad Gomoll (1877 - 1951)

Du, silbernes Mondenlicht
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Du, silbernes Mondenlicht, 
  schleich dich zu ihr! 
Husch in das Kämmerlein 
leis zu dem Liebchen mein, 
  grüsse sie mir!

Du, silbernes Mondenlicht,
  bring' ihr den Gruss! 
Doch gehe leis und sacht, 
dass sie mir nicht erwacht, 
  vom Traumeskuss! 

Du, silbernes Mondenlicht,
  küss' ihr den Mund! 
Steig' in ihr Kämmerlein, 
bring' Gruss und Kuss hinein, 
  zur Traumesstund'!
