Alt vandrer Månen sin Vej i Kveld

Language: Danish (Dansk)

Alt vandrer Månen sin Vej i Kveld, 
Ned rinder Duggen i Krat; 
Nu ganger den lyse Dag på Held, 
Allerkjæresten min, Godnat. 

Ret aldrig stræler så klar som du 
En Stjerne på Himlens Blå;
I Kveld står altid til dig min Hu, 
Når Dagen til Ro mon gå. 

Hvor Solen drager i Vesten ind, 
Af Havet i Favntag kryst, 
Ret altid søger dig da mit Sind 
Der, hvor der er mildt og lyst.

Der Mond schon wandelt am Himmelszelt

Language: German (Deutsch) after the Danish (Dansk)

Der Mond schon wandelt am Himmelszelt
Es glänzt des Taues Pracht, 
Der Tag schwand dahin, es ruht die Welt
Allerliebste mein, gut' Nacht.

Es prangt ein Stern so schön und klar wie Du,
Du Stern im höchsten Himmelsgefild'
Mit Dir die Seele voll Zauber schwillt
Wenn endlich der Tag geht zur Ruh.

Es sinkt die Sonn in des Westens Pfort
Wo küssend die Welle bricht
Es wartet dein deine Seele dort
Im heimlichen milden Licht.
