Bergnacht mit deinem Waldeszauber
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Bergnacht mit deinem Waldeszauber, 
Mondnacht mit deinem vollen Schein! 
Es rauscht im Tann, es rauscht im Laube, 
Die Halme [blühen ums]1 Gestein. 

Leis [streift]2 der Wind die Almenmatten, 
Das wogt so duftig [und]3 so sacht; 
Da dunkelt's -- nur ein Wolkenschatten -- 
[Und]4 wieder volle, klare Nacht!

Die Funken [auf]5 dem Almherd knistern,
Fern klingt der Herden Nachtgeläut; 
Die [Mägdlein]6 singen, andre flüstern
Von Minne und von holder Zeit.

Ich hör' ihr Flüstern nicht und Singen,
Lieg' draußen in der Sternenpracht --
Mir war zu Sinn, als hört' ich klingen
Den Elfensang der Heidennacht!
