In stiller Nacht
Language: German (Deutsch) 
In stiller Nacht
Beim Sternenschein
Da hab' ich Dein
Gedacht;
Hab' lang gewacht,
Dies Ständchen Dir gebracht.
In stiller Nacht
Da kann man traurig sein;
Ich war's; ich dachte Dein
Beim Sternenschein.
Rings alles schlief,
Es zirpte nur die Grille,
Sonst war es totenstille.
Und Deinen Namen
Rief
Im Trennungsschmerz
Mein Herz,
Und unsrer Liebe seufzt' ich tief
Ein Amen.--
Da hab' ich Dein,
Du Engel mein,
Gedacht,
Und aufgewacht
War alle Lebensglut
Aus meinem Todesmut.
Hab' lang gewacht,
Mit Macht
Dies Liebeslied gesungen;
Ich hab' von Wonneschmerz durchdrungen
Dies Ständchen Dir gebracht.
