"Da am goin' roost for da nacht now we'll get 'em in bagfull," said Swartboy, with a pleased look; for Swartboy was a regular locust-eater, as fond of them as either eagle or kite, ay, as the "springhaan-vogel" itself. It was as Swartboy had stated. The swarm was actually settling down on the plain. "Can't fly without sun," continued the Bushman. "Too cold now. Dey go dead till da mornin."
Over the fat pillows were "shams" embroidered in Turkey red, each with a flowering scroll one with "Gute' Nacht," the other with "Guten Morgen." The dresser was so big that Thea wondered how it had ever been got into the house and up the narrow stairs.
Harmony stood alone by the tree, violin poised, smiling at the applause. Her eyes, running along the dim amphitheater, sought Peter's, and finding them dwelt there a moment. Then she began to play softly and as softly the others sang. "Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht," they sang, with upturned eyes. "Alles schlaeft, einsam wacht..."

Absorbed in each other, they pay no heed, and once more they join in the very ecstasy of passion, so far as it can be given musical form, in the finale of the duet, "O süsse Nacht! Ew'ge Nacht! Hehr erhabne Liebes-Nacht." The treachery of Sir Melot, Tristan's pretended friend, betrays the lovers to the King.

Here is an abridged list: Opus 1, 2, and 3 (composed, 1898-1900); Opus 4, string sextet, which bears the title, Verklärte Nacht ; Gurrelieder, after J. P. Jacobsen, for solos; chorus and orchestra , published in the Universal Edition, Vienna; Opus 5, Pelléas et Mélisande, symphonic poem for orchestra , Universal Edition aforesaid; Opus 6, eight lieder (about 1905); Opus 7, E string quartet, D minor ; Opus 8, six orchestral lieder ; Opus 9, Kammersymphonie ; two ballads for voice and piano ; Peace on Earth, mixed chorus
We walked home as far as his house, or rather his apartment over one of the village stores; and as he mounted to it by an outside staircase, we exchanged a joyous "Gute Nacht," and I kept on homeward through the dark and silent village street, which was really not that street, but some other, where Heine had been, some street out of the Reisebilder, of his knowledge, or of his dream.
"But I am never afraid," she added immediately, took a bonbon in her mouth, and let the cockatoo nibble at it. The bird unfeelingly trod on the girl's beautifully heaving breast. She made it sing Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht and some well-known music-hall airs, and told stories of her menagerie.
The scene is the brow of the Hungerberg at Innsbruck. It is the half-hour before sunset, and the whole lovely valley of the Inn still wie die Nacht, tief wie das Meer begins to glow with mauves and apple greens, apricots and silvery blues.
Finally, in an agony of desperation, he cried: 'Walpurgis nacht! and pointed to the carriage for me to get in. All my English blood rose at this, and, standing back, I said: 'You are afraid, Johann you are afraid. Go home; I shall return alone; the walk will do me good. The carriage door was open.
