by Manfred Kyber (1880 - 1933)

Abendlied
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Der Abend kommt, der Tag ist aus,
Frau Sonne geht zur Ruh.
Sie geht wohl in ihr Wolkenhaus
und macht die Türe zu.

Dann werden alle angebrannt
die Sternlein in der Nacht.
Es halten über Meer und Land
die Engel heil’ge Wacht.

Und wenn die goldnen Sterne stehn
und scheint der Mond dazu,
dann müssen alle schlafen gehen:
die Welt und ich und du.

Und schläfst du ein und hast du kaum
die Augen zugemacht,
dann schenkt dir einen lieben Traum
die Königin der Nacht.
