Weinend seh' ich in die Nacht
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE
Weinend seh' ich in die Nacht,
Weinend träum' ich, bis es tagt,
Und doch kennt mein frommes Herz
Keinen Wunsch und keinen Schmerz,
Warum ich weine.

Grosse Nacht, du bist so weis,
Nachtwind, flüst're du mir leis',
Öffnet euren stummen Mund,
Blumen, Blumen, tut mir kund,
Warum ich weine.
