Der Abend wandert übers dunkle Land
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): ENG FIN
Der Abend wandert übers dunkle Land,
auf meinem Haupt ruht deine liebe Hand,
und deine Stimme, süss und dämmerleise,
singt eine alte liebe Kinderweise,
so abendmild . . im Traume hör ich zu,
und alles Leid und Sehnen geht zur Ruh.

The evening wanders over the dark land
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
The evening wanders over the dark land,
upon my head rests your dear hand,
and your voice, sweet and twilight-quiet,
sings an old, beloved children's song,
so evening-mild . . in my dreams I listen to it,
and all suffering and yearning goes to rest.
