Overnight - overnight... The letter from Tegel prison in which Bonhoeffer mentions this Lied is to Hans Von Dohnanyi, 5th April 1943. (The Christmas Trees letter was sent in November the same year). The lines Bonhoeffer quotes are from a poem of Julius Sturms: Overnight, overnight, joy and sorrow come, and before you know it, leave you behind and return to their Master to say how you have borne them (possibly inaccurate translation from memory). I read the inmost self made outcast as a typically oblique departure from this origin.
