Du Sommerabend! Heilig, goldnes Licht! In sanftem Glühen steht die Flur entzündet. Kein Laut, der dieses Friedens Lauschen bricht, in ein Gefühl ist alles hingemündet. Auch meine Seele sehnt sich nach der Nacht und nach des Dunkels taugeperltem Steigen und will nur lauschen, wie in Rosenpracht die dunklen Himmelsstunden leuchtend schweigen.
Confirmed with Wilhelm Weigand, In der Frühe, Leipzig und Berlin: Georg Heinrich Meyer Heimatverlag, 1901, page 27. Appears in Im Übergang.

Ô soir d'été ! Sainte lumière dorée ! Dans la douce incandescence les champs Aucun bruit ne brise cette écoute paisible, Dans une seule émotion tout est plongé. Mon âme aussi se languit de la nuit Et de la montée de l'obscurité avec ses perles de rosée, Et n'écoutera, comme dans la splendeur rosée Que les heures sombres du ciel luire en silence.
