by Wilhelmina Christiane von Chézy, née Klencke (1783 - 1856)

Abendlied
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
[Wann]1 der Abendstern die Rosen
Still mit [Sehnsuchtblicken]2 grüßt,
Und bei lauer [Lüfte]3 Kosen,
Blume sich an Blume schließt,
Dann ergreift mich heißes Bangen,
Ach! zu ruhn an deiner Brust,
Und von deinem Arm umfangen,
Zu vergehn in Schmerz und Lust.
 
[Wann]1in grüner Waldung Mitte,
Rings von Blum und Busch umkränzt
Nun des Landmanns stille Hütte,
Friedlich süß im [Monde]4 glänzt,
Ach! dann wünsch ich mir [hinieden]5,
Solch ein Hüttchen, still und arm,
Seelger Unschuld [Herzensfrieden]6,
Und den Tod in Deinem Arm!
