Der alte Park ist still und liegt in tiefer Ruh', leise geht die Nacht durch den Wald. Noch hält des Mondes Licht die Augen alle zu, bis des alten Tages Schritt verhallt. Da geht ein Raunen durch die Luft - und horch, von fern erklingt das Lied der Nachtigall. Zauberlied der Nacht, Stimme der Natur, deine Melodie klingt so süß an mein Ohr. Zauberlied der Nacht, Stimme der Natur, deine Töne fliegen zum Himmel empor.
