Original text and translations
German text
- Silberblauer Mondenschein fällt herab,
- senkt so manchen Strahl hinein in das Grab.
- Freund des Schlummers, lieber Mond, schweige nicht,
- ob im Grabe Dunkel wohnt, oder Licht.
- Alles stumm? Nun stilles Grab rede du,
- zogst so manchen Strahl hinab in die Ruh,
- birgst gar manchen Mondenblick, silberblau,
- gib nur einen Strahl zurück! Komm und schau!
(text by Johann Gabriel Seidl)
English translation
- Silver-blue moonlight falls down,
- Lowers many beams down into the grave.
- Friend of slumber, dear moon, don't be silent,
- if in the grave, darkness lives, or light.
- All is quiet? Now, silent Grave, speak,
- You drew so many beams down into the stillness,
- You hold so many glances of the moon, silver-blue,
- Just give one beam back. Come and see!
(translation by Annegret Boge)
