Original text and translations
German text
Nacht, o Nacht, du heil'ge Nacht,
breitest deinen Friedensschleier
über Wiese, Wald und Weiher,
wehest süße, süße Ruh'
liebend allen Müden zu.
Nacht, o Nacht, du heil'ge Nacht,
hebest uns in Traumgebilden
auf zu schöneren Gefilden,
leitest lächelnd uns zum Glück,
kehrten nie doch wir zurück!
Nacht, o Nacht, du heil'ge Nacht,
lass auch jetzt in deinem Arme
ruhen mich nach langem Harme;
webe Liebchen hold und mild,
tröstend in mein Traumgebild!
English translation
Lovely night! O lovely night,
spreading over hill and meadow
soft an slow thy hazy shadow,
soon our wearied eyelids close,
slumber in thy blest repose.
Lovely night! O lovely night,
placing brighter worlds before us,
happiness thou sheddest o'er us,
o that we might ne'er return
this dull earth, to weep and mourn.
