English text
- Good-night? ah! no; the hour is ill
- Which severs those it should unite;
- Let us remain together still,
- Then it will be good night.
- How can I call the lone night good,
- Though thy sweet wishes wing its flight?
- Be it not said, thought, understood --
- Then it will be -- good night.
- To hearts which near each other move
- From evening close to morning light,
- The night is good; because, my love,
- They never say good-night.
