## The words

Mein Herz ist wie die dunkle Nacht,  
wenn alle Wipfel rauschen;  
da steigt der Mond in voller Pracht aus Wolken  
sacht und sieh’! der Wald verstummt in tiefem  
Lauschen.  
Der Mond, der lichte Mond bist du in deiner  
Liebesfülle,  
wirf einen, einen Blick mir zu voll  
Himmelsruh’, voll Himmelsruh’–––––– und  
sieh’! dies ungestüme Herz wird stille,  
und sieh’! dies ungestüme Herz wird stille.
