by Wilhelmina Christiane von Chézy, née Klencke (1783 - 1856)

Abendlied
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Wann der Abendstern die Rosen
Still mit Sehnsuchtblicken grüßt,
Und bei lauer Lüfte Kosen,
Blume sich an Blume schließt,
Dann ergreift mich heißes Bangen,
Ach! zu ruhn an deiner Brust,
Und von deinem Arm umfangen,
Zu vergehn in Schmerz und Lust.
 
Wannin grüner Waldung Mitte,
Rings von Blum und Busch umkränzt
Nun des Landmanns stille Hütte,
Friedlich süß im Monde glänzt,
Ach! dann wünsch ich mir hinieden,
Solch ein Hüttchen, still und arm,
Seelger Unschuld Herzensfrieden,
Und den Tod in Deinem Arm!
