by Karl Friedrich Henckell (1864 - 1929)
Die Sonne sank. Noch schimmert
Language: German (Deutsch)
Die Sonne sank. Noch schimmert In meinem Aug' ihr Glanz, Und immer bunter flimmert Der goldne Lichterkranz. Von goldnem Traum umfangen Und farbiger Strahlen Schein, Schweb' ich mit süßem Bangen In dunkle Nacht hinein.
