In dämmrigen Grüften Träumte ich lang Von deinen Bäumen und blauen Lüften, Von deinem Duft und Vogelsang. Nun liegst du erschlossen In Gleiß und Zier, Von Licht übergossen Wie ein Wunder vor mir. Du kennst mich wieder, Du [lockest]1 mich zart, Es zittert durch all meine Glieder Deine selige Gegenwart.

2. September  [sung text checked 1 time]
Der Garten trauert, Kühl sinkt in die Blumen der Regen. Der Sommer schauert Still seinem Ende entgegen. Golden tropft Blatt um Blatt Nieder vom hohen Akazienbaum. Sommer lächelt erstaunt und matt In den sterbenden Gartentraum. Lange noch bei den Rosen Bleibt er stehen, sehnt sich nach Ruh. Langsam tut er die großen Müdgewordnen Augen zu.

3. Beim Schlafengehen  [sung text checked 1 time]
[Nun]1 der Tag mich [müd]2 gemacht, Soll mein sehnliches Verlangen Freundlich die gestirnte Nacht Wie ein müdes Kind empfangen. Hände, laßt von allem Tun, Stirn vergiß du alles Denken, Alle meine Sinne nun Wollen sich in Schlummer senken. Und die Seele unbewacht Will in freien Flügen schweben, Um im Zauberkreis der Nacht Tief und tausendfach zu leben.

4. Im Abendrot  [sung text checked 1 time]
Wir sind durch Not und Freude Gegangen Hand in Hand, Vom Wandern [ruhn wir beide]1 Nun überm stillen Land. Rings sich die Thäler neigen, Es dunkelt schon die Luft, Zwei Lerchen nur noch steigen Nachträumend in den Duft. Tritt her, und laß sie schwirren, Bald ist es [Schlafenszeit]2, Daß wir uns nicht verirren In dieser Einsamkeit. O weiter stiller Friede! So tief im Abendrot, Wie sind wir wandermüde -- Ist [das]3 etwa der Tod?

- by Joseph Karl Benedikt, Freiherr von Eichendorff (1788 - 1857), "Im Abendrot", appears in Gedichte, in 4. Frühling und Liebe
