by Otto Julius Bierbaum (1865 - 1910)

Gegen Abend
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT FRE
Nun hängt nur noch am Kirchturmknopf
Der letzte Sonnenschein;
Bald werden auch die Höhen
Ganz ohne Sonne sein.

Und Silberglanz dann überall;
Des Mondes blasses Licht
Umschüttet unsre Laube,
Umleuchtet dein Gesicht.

Der Mond, das Licht der Küsse,
Das alles zaubrisch macht:
Komm, Nacht, mit deinen Gnaden,
Du liebereiche Nacht!
