Original text and translations
German text
Silberblauer Mondenschein fällt herab,
senkt so manchen Strahl hinein in das Grab.
Freund des Schlummers, lieber Mond, schweige nicht,
ob im Grabe Dunkel wohnt, oder Licht.
Alles stumm? Nun stilles Grab rede du,
zogst so manchen Strahl hinab in die Ruh,
birgst gar manchen Mondenblick, silberblau,
gib nur einen Strahl zurück! Komm und schau!
(text by Johann Gabriel Seidl)
English translation
Silver-blue moonlight falls down,
Lowers many beams down into the grave.
Friend of slumber, dear moon, don't be silent,
if in the grave, darkness lives, or light.
All is quiet? Now, silent Grave, speak,
You drew so many beams down into the stillness,
You hold so many glances of the moon, silver-blue,
Just give one beam back. Come and see!
(translation by Annegret Boge)
