The night is dark and your slumber is...
Language:
English
The night is dark and your slumber is deep
in the hush of my being.
Wake, O Pain of Love, for I know not how
to open the door, and I stand outside.
The hours wait, the stars watch, the wind is still,
the silence is heavy in my heart.
Wake, Love, wake! brim my empty cup,
and with a breath of song ruffle the night.

Die Nacht ist dunkel
Language:
German
Die Nacht ist dunkel, und dein Schlummer ist tief
in der Stille meines Seins.
Erwache, o Schmerz der Liebe, denn ich weiss nicht,
wie die Türe öffnen und ich stehe draussen.
Die Stunden warten, die Sterne halten Wacht,
der Wind ist still, das Schweigen im Herzen schwer.
Erwache, o Liebe, erwache. Fülle meinen Becher bis zum Rand,
und mit einem Hauch von Gesang errege die Nacht.
