Original text and translations

English text

Good night! Good night, beloved!
    I come to watch o’er thee!
To be near thee, —to be near thee,
Alone is peace for me!
To be near thee, —to be near thee,
    Alone is peace for me!
Good night, beloved!

Thine eyes are stars of morning,
    Thy lips are crimson flowers!
Good night, beloved!
    While I count the weary hours.

The Spanish Student
Act 2, Scene 10
