Die Nacht mit ihrem Frieden Bedeckt die weite See, Der Mond ist aufgegangen Und wandelt durch die Höh. Die Welt ist lauter Stille, Nur mein Gedanke wacht Und wandelt durch die Ferne Zu dir in dunkler Nacht.

La nuit avec sa paix Recouvre la vaste mer, La lune s'est levée Et voyage en haut. Le monde est d'un silence pur, Seules mes pensées sont éveillées Et errent au loin Vers toi dans la nuit noire.
