by Friedrich Heinrich Oser (1820 - 1891)

Am Abend
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Hoch oben an den Flühen 
Still ward's im Tannenwald; 
Die Felsen rings verglühen, 
Und jeder Klang verhallt. 

Der Bach nur leise, leise 
Singt in dem tiefsten Grund 
Noch eine Schlummerweise 
Den Weiden in der Rund. 

Und ihrem Neste fliegen 
Die letzten Vögel zu: 
Könntst du auch, Herz, dich wiegen 
Wie sie zur Ruh, zur Ruh!

Confirmed with Liederbuch von Friedrich Oser, 1842-1874. Mit einem biographischen Verzeichnis der Componisten, Basel: Benno Schwabe, Verlagsbuchhandlung, 1875, page 92.
