Wenn mich die Abendluft umscherzt
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Wenn mich die Abendluft umscherzt,
Nach des Tages schwüler Pein,
Wie leicht ist Wehmuth nicht verschmerzt
Bei der Sterne Silberschein.
 
Es drängen sich der Bilder viel,
Aus des Herzens tiefem Grund,
Wohl manches ist nur Kinder-Spiel,
Drängt sich verwirrt und bunt.
 
Was dem Gefühl sich kundgethan,
Bleibt mit meiner Sehnsucht wach,
Führt liebend mich auf irrd'scher sic Bahn
Hallt in der Erinn'rung nach.
