Our translations: CAT
Wenn lichter Mondenschein Um wald'ge Gipfel schwebet, Vergessenheit er webet Um alles Erdensein, Kommst, Liebchen, heimlich dann Zum Garten du gegangen, Tief hält des Schattens Bann Den Rosenhag umfangen. Ganz furchtlos wirst du sein: Der Rosen dichte Hecken, Sie werden wohl verstecken Ihr braunes Schwesterlein Im lichten Mondenschein.
