by Georg Friedrich Daumer (1800 - 1875)
O schöne Nacht!
Language: German (Deutsch)
O schöne Nacht! Am Himmel märchenhaft Erglänzt der Mond in seiner ganzen Pracht; Um ihn der kleinen Sterne liebliche Genossenschaft. Es schimmert hell der Tau Am grünen Halm; mit Macht Im Fliederbusche schlägt die Nachtigall; Der Knabe schleicht zu seiner Liebsten sacht - O schöne Nacht!
