Welt ist stille eingeschlafen, Ruht im Mondenschein. Öffnen sich im Himmelshafen Augen, golden, rein. Gottes Geige singt jetzt leise - Liebste, denk' an Dich. Wie im Traumboot geht die Reise, Such' in Sternen Dich. Strahlen seliger Lieb' erhellen Meines Herzens Raum. Zwiesprach' halten unsere Seelen, Küssen sich im Traum.
