Nacht (Night) I Twilight floats above the valley's night, mists are hanging, there's a whispering brook. I I Now the covering veil is lifted quiet, 1 oh come and look, oh look! I See the magic land before our gaze, tall .as dreams the silver mo un­ i tains stand, 11 II crossed by silent paths shining from a secret land. Noble pure, 11 I the dreaming country sleeps. By the path the shadow black and high of a beach; 11 I a wisp of white smoke creeps to the darkening sky. I Where the valley is the darkest hue I countless little lights shine silently.
