Night Mislead lyrics

Music: Hertrich
Lyrics: Hertrich/Winkler
With how sad steps You climb the skies !
How silently, how pale Your face...
What may it be, that even in this place
That busy archer his arrows tries ?
Liebe verendet zu Staub und verlabt mich
Mein Geist, er schaut auf zu den hoheren
Zielen und reichert fur mich Unvergangliches
An, Vergangliches bringt mir nur
Endliche Freuden
Leave me, oh love, which reachest but to dust
And You, my mind, aspire to higher things
Grow rich in that which never takes rust
What ever fades but fading pleasure brings
Verbreite die Strahlen, gib' mir Deine Macht,
Die die Wolken besiegt und das Licht mir bewegt
Durch den Fruhling des goldnen belebenden Blickes
Ich suche den Weg in der Dammerung schwer
And let the day be time enough to mourn
Let walking eyes suffice to vail their scorn
The shipwreck of my ill-adventured youth
Without the torment of the night's untruth
