Nun ruht und schlummert Alles
Language: German (Deutsch)
Nun ruht und schlummert Alles, [Erd', Menschen, Wald]1 und Wind, Das Wasser leisen Falles Nur durch die Blumen rinnt. Der Mond mit vollem Scheine Ruht breit auf jedem Dach; In [weiter Welt]2 alleine Bin ich zur [Stund]3 noch wach. Und Alles, Lust und Schmerzen, Bracht' ich in mir zur Ruh; [Noch]4 Eins noch wacht im Herzen, Nur Eins: und das bist Du! Und Deines Bildes Friede Folgt mir in Zeit und Raum: Bei [Tag]5 wird er zum Liede, Und Nachts wird er zum Traum!

À minuit
Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
Maintenant tout repose et dort, Les hommes, la forêt et le vent, L'eau tombe doucement, Seule, en coulant entre les fleurs. La lune pleine de lumière Repose sur chaque toit ; Dans le vaste monde, seul, Je suis encore éveillé à cette heure. Et tout, plaisir et chagrin, S'est brisé en moi en repos. Seule dans mon cœur est éveillé une chose, Une seule : et c'est toi ! Et la paix de ton image Me suit dans le temps et l'espace : Le jour, elle est chant, Et la nuit elle est rêve.
