O lovely night
Brahms, Johannes
O lovely night!
In the heavens, the moon gleams magically
in all its splendour;
about it, the sweet comradeship
of tiny stars.
The dew glimmers brightly
on the green blades of grass; with great power,
the nightingale sings out in the elder-bush;
the young man steals quietly to his sweetheart -
O lovely night!
