by Matthias Claudius (1740 - 1815)

Komm, stiller Abend, nieder
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Komm, stiller Abend, nieder,
Auf unsre kleine Flur,
Dir tönen unsre Lieder!
Wie schön bist du Natur!

Schon steigt die Abendröthe,
Herab in's kühle Thal,
Schon glänzt auf unsrer Flöte,
Der Sonne letzter Strahl.

All überall herrscht Schweigen,
Nur schwingt der Vögel Chor
Noch aus den dunkeln Zweigen
Den Nachtgesang empor.
