Available translation(s): ENG FRE
In einem brennenden Abendhimmel
aus Staub und Dunkel
steigt der Dom.
Die Glocken läuten.
Die kleinen Linden stehen schwarz;
vor ihren Thüren sitzen alte leute.
Feierabend!
Die Gassen schweigen.
Die Gluth verlischt.
Am Himmel
leise
zieh'n die ew'gen Sterne auf!

Dans le ciel du soir flamboyant
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch)
Dans le ciel du soir flamboyant
émerge de la poussière et de l'obscurité
la cathédrale.
Les cloches sonnent.
Les petits tilleuls se dressent tout noirs ;
devant ses portes de vieilles gens sont assises.
La journée de travail est finie !
Les ruelles font silence.
L'agitation décroit.
Au ciel,
doucement,
Se lèvent les étoiles éternelles !
