by Christian Hoeppl (1826 - 1862)

Der Abend kam, und leichter schlug das...
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Der Abend kam, und leichter schlug das Herz, 
Und milder, immer milder ward der Schmerz.  
Sanft um die Schläfen spielt kühl die Luft
Und um mich wob's wie süßer Blumenduft. 

Ich dachte dein und der vergangnen Zeit,
Freundlich umglänzt war selbst das bange Leid; 
Wie düstre Kirchen oft im Mondenschein
Sich kleiden in der Freude Tempel ein. 

Noch einmal sah ich nieder in das Thal,
Verglommen war des Abends schwacher Strahl.
Und wie ein Geist zog leise durch die Brust
Der letzte Traum von Liebe, Lied und Lust.
