Des Mondes Silber rinnt Im Wald von Zweig zu Zweigen, Im Thal die Nebel steigen, Entschlafen ist der Wind. Und wie kein Halm sich regt, Kein Läublein, keine Ranke, Hat jeder Schmerzgedanke Sich auch zur Ruh gelegt. Wie klar erscheinst du mir In meiner Seele Grunde! Mir ist zu dieser Stunde, Ich redete mit dir. Ich fühl's in sel'ger Ruh: Eins sind wir, auch geschieden -- Gut' Nacht, und solchen Frieden, Geliebte, hab' auch du!

L'argent de la lune coule Dans la forêt, de rameau en rameau, Dans la vallée le brouillard monte, Le vent s'est endormi. Et comme aucune brindille ne bouge, Pas la plus petite feuille, pas un sarment, Cette pensée douloureuse Est aussi allée se reposer. Comme tu m'apparais clairement Au plus profond de mon âme ! Pour moi, c'est comme si en cet instant Je parlais avec toi. Je le ressens avec une tranquille sérénité Un jour nous serons aussi séparés -- Bonne nuit, et puisses-tu avoir, Mon amour, une telle paix !
