Wand'rer [zieht]1 auf fernen Wegen In der Brust der Sehnsucht Qual, Horch, da tönt die Abendglocke Lieblich durch das stille Thal. Und der Wand'rer steht und lauschet, Auf den Stab gestützt, ihr zu: "Abendglöckchen, Abendglöckchen, Wiegst nun [Alt und Jung]2 zur Ruh!" "Wiegst zur Ruhe alle, alle, Und mit ihnen Lust und Schmerz, Wann, o Glöckchen, rufst du endlich Auch zur Ruh', [zur Ruh' mein]3 Herz?"

A wanderer [travels]1 upon distant paths, In his breast the agony of yearning; Hark, the evening bell sounds Beautifully through the quiet valley. And the wanderer stands and listens to it, Leaning upon his staff: “Little evening bell, little evening bell, You are now rocking [old and young]2 to rest!" "You are rocking to rest everyone, everyone, And with them joy and sorrow, When, o little bell, shall you finally call To rest, [to rest, my]3 heart as well?”
