Heut es kein Abend werden will, In alle Gassen hinein Steht noch der Frühlingstag still. Und der Laternen funkelnde Reih'n Ziehen im letzten Tagesschein Wie in die Halle des Himmels hinein. Seht auch, es glänzen im Grau Die Steine der Straßen noch blau. Der Tag will den Stein nicht verlassen; Er will ihn als Edelstein fassen, Weil die Menschen darüber gegangen, Die Menschen zu zwein und mit glühenden Wangen.

Today evening does not want to come, In all the streets The springtime day still lingers quietly. And the twinkling rows of lanterns Travel in the last light of day, As if entering the halls of Heaven. See, too, in the greyness The stones of the street still shine bluely. The day does not want to leave the stone; It wishes to set it like a jewel, Because people walked over it, People as twosomes and with glowing cheeks.
