from Volkslieder (Folksongs)
Translation by Siegfried Kapper (1821 - 1879)

Stand der Mond am Himmel
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Moravian (Moravština) 
Stand der Mond am Himmel, 
War so bleich sein Schein.
Bin im Wald gegangen
Mutterseelallein.

Mutterseelalleine 
War ich selig schier; 
Kaum gedacht' ich deiner, 
Kam der Schmerz zu mir.

Kam zu mir der Herbstwind,
Kam als welkes Blatt,
Weil dein Herz, der Fernen 
Längst vergessen hat.

Kam zu mir als Regen 
Rauschend durch's Geäst,
Weil um todte Liebe 
Sich nur weinen läßt.
