Stille, stille!
Language: German (Deutsch)
Stille, stille!
Der Tag ist gegangen,
Tief drunten verklangen
Die letzten Stimmen,
Im Zwielicht schwimmen
Höhen und Wald --
Ein [Atmen]1 weht,
Ein zitternd Gebet
Ringsum im Kreise --
Und eine Seele geht
Auf die letzte Reise.

Quiet, quiet!
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
Quiet, quiet!
The day has passed away,
Far down below
The last voices have died away,
The heights and forest
Swim in twilight
A [breathing]1 wafts,
A trembling prayer
Round about in a circle --
And a soul undertakes
The last journey.
