'Nachtviolen' (D.752) is a song for voice and piano, composed by Franz Schubert in 1822. This short piece, which typically lasts around three minutes, is in the key of C major and is based on a German text by Johann Mayrhofer (1787–1836). The piece was not published until 1872, fifty years after it was written. According to the Witteczek-Spaun collection, the piece was originally written in A-flat major. However, no autograph in this key has survived.

Night Violets

Night violets,
dark, soulful eyes,
it is blissful to immerse myself
in your velvety blue.

Green leaves strive joyously
to brighten you, to adorn you;
but you gaze, solemn and silent,
into the mild spring air.

With sublime shafts of melancholy
you have pierced my faithful heart,
and now, in silent nights,
our sacred union blossoms.

The scenery was filmed by Christian Schlegel in Ueschinental, Switzerland and the video was edited by Wenjing Ma.
