by Friedrich Wilibald Wulff (1837 - 1898)

Abend
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Es zieht die Liebe Gottes 
Durch's All. 
Der Hirt treibt seine Heerden
Zu Thal. 

Es flüstern leis' die Veilchen 
Der Au',
Und schließen ihre Blüthen,
So blau.

Der Abendglocke Tönen 
Verhallt, 
Im tiefen Schweigen stehet 
Der Wald. 

Die Abendlüfte wehen 
So lind, 
Und in den Tannen säuselt
Der Wind.

Geh' ein auch du, mein Herze, 
Zur Ruh',
Es deckt der Friede Gottes 
Dich zu. 

Confirmed with Im Frühling: Gedichte von Friedrich Wilibald Wolff, Altona, Verlagsbureau, 1856, pages 20-21.
