by (Jakob) Vogel von Glarus (1816 - 1899)

Traute Abendglockenklänge
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Traute Abendglockenklänge 
Zittern durch die Luft, 
Und der Gru&szig; des Engels wallet 
Sanft empor wie Blumenduft. 
Ave Maria!

Und in silberweißem Haare 
Lauscht und faltet still ein Greis 
Seine Hände  --  und es beben 
Seine Lippen fromm und leis: 
Ave Maria! 

"Gieße Trost und süßen Frieden 
Lief in jede Menschenbrust  --  "
Fleht ein Weib, den lieben Säugling 
Herzend noch mit Mutterlust. 
Ave Maria!  

Und von jeder Lippe schwebet 
Andachtselig ein Gebet, 
Wie ein Westhauch, der im Lenze 
Fä:chelnd über Blumen weht. 
Ave Maria!
