Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): ENG
Die blaue Nacht geht leuchtend übern See; Im Mondschein strahlt der weiße Bergesschnee. Durch ferne Wolken flammt ein fahles Licht, Wie vor Gewittern, doch sie zünden nicht. Die Hand in meiner Hand scheucht alle Pein... Oh, dieses tiefe, tiefe Seligsein! Nun wurde mir das goldene Verstehn: Ich darf dem Glück in beide Augen sehn.

Blue night
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
Blue night doth shine upon the lake below. In moonlight glist'neth pure white mountain snow. In distant mountains flasheth fallow light As if from lightning, yet doth not ignite. The hand in mine doth drive away distress. O wondrous blissful, blissful happiness! Now golden understanding came to me. 'Tis bliss incarnate, whose fair form I see.
From the Weigl score.
