At midnight I kept watch And looked up to heaven;
Not a star in the galaxy Smiled on me At midnight.

At midnight My thoughts went out To the dark reaches of space;
No shining thought Brought me comfort At midnight.

At midnight I paid heed To the beating of my heart;
A single pulse of pain Was set alight At midnight.

At midnight I fought the battle, O Mankind, of your afflictions; I could not gain victory By my own strength At midnight.

At midnight I gave my strength Into Thy hands! Lord over life and death, Thou keepest watch At midnight.

Written by Friedrich Rückert, Music by Gustav Mahler, Sculptures by Auguste Rodin.
