Sieh, welch Finsternis - English translation

Look what a mist has lain down
in the depth of dales.
Under her transparent haze,
In a sleepy twilight of a broom grove
A lake shines dimly


The pale moon walks in the sky invisibly
in a close assembly of blue-grey clouds.
Unable to find refuge and shining through, with its phosphorescent ray it brightens everything
