II|"Winter Nacht"|Charakter Stück für Orchester|Fritz Delius|1889|"Winternacht"

Also on the title page are the following lines in German:

"Ein Weihnachts Abend stand ich in der freie Natur|der Mond schien hell über der Schnee bedeckte|Landschaft. Ein Schlitten ließ sich hören in weiter Ferne|bald aber jagte vorbei und verschwand allmählig|dann war es wieder Stille, kalt und friedlich"

[One Christmas eve I stood in the open air. The moon shone bright over the billowing landscape. The sound of an approaching sleigh was heard from a distance, but it soon rushed by and disappeared. And then gradually it was once more still and bright and peaceful] (translation: RT, 129).
