by Will Vesper (1882 - 1962)

Abendtrunk
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Nun komm, du lieber Wein! 
Gefangner Sonnenschein!  
Du bist der Erde süßes Blut. 
Du tust den armen Seelen gut. 
Nun Weinlein 
komm herein! 
Gefangner Sonnenschein!  

Es geht der Tag dahin. 
Ich freu mich, daß ich bin, 
daß ich mein Werk zu End gebracht 
und gut gewirkt und gut gedacht. 
Nun Weinlein 
komm herein! 
Ich freu mich, daß ich bin!  

Schon dunkelt her die Nacht. 
Schön ist der Tag vollbracht. 
Mein Herz, durch das dein Feuer schwingt, 
es leuchtet fröhlich auf und singt. 
Nun Weinlein 
komm herein!   
Schön ist der Tag vollbracht.
