3. Mondnacht [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch)

     Nacht liegt auf den fremden Wegen, –
Krankes Herz und müde Glieder; –
Ach, da fließt, wie stiller Segen,
Süßer Mond, dein Licht hernieder.

     Süßer Mond, mit deinen Strahlen
Scheuchest du das nächt’ge Grauen;
Es zerrinnen meine Qualen,
Und die Augen überthauen.

5. Du bist wie eine Blume [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch)

  Du bist wie eine Blume
[So hold und schön und rein;]¹

[Betend]⁴, daß [Gott dich]⁵ erhalte
[So rein und schön und hold.]⁶
