by Franz Alfred Muth (1839 - 1890)

Abend am Meer
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Alles so stille, der Himmel, das Meer;
alles in Frieden, lieblich und hehr,
Licht an dem Himmel und Licht in der Flut,
alles, ja alles ruht.

Ferne nur läutet die Glocke darein,
leise sie redet zum Abend hinein.
Alles so stille, der Abend, das Meer,
Herz, und so klage nicht mehr.

Tobten die Wogen und brauste der Wind,
wird es am Abend immer doch lind,
und mit dem Ölzweig über das Meer
flieget die Taube daher!

Irr, wie die Wellen wogen im Meer,
woget das Leben dahin und daher;
dass an dem Abende über das Meer
flöge die Taube daher!

Confirmed with Franz Alfred Muth, Wintergarten: Novellen und Wanderbilder nebst einer lyrische Nachlass, Frankfurt am Main: G. J. Hamacher, 1874, page 159. Appears in Gedichte.
