by Ferdinand Ludwig Anders (1806 - 1872), as Ferdinand Stolle

Die Sonn' ist still und schön geschieden
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Die Sonn' ist [still und schön]1 geschieden, 
im grünen Wald ging sie zur Ruh!
Ein wunderbarer Abendfrieden 
schliesst sanft der Blumen Augen zu.

Die letzten Rosenschleier sinken, 
das letzte Abendrot verglüht:
da tönet durch die Kirchhoflinde 
ein wundervolles Abendlied.

Die Abendglocken sind's sie klingen 
wie Engelstimmen übers Feld;
auf ihrer Töne sanftes Schwingen 
zieht süsser Frieden durch die Welt.

Anbetend schwingt in Freud und Wonne 
die Seele sich zum Sternenzelt:
Wie hell erglänzt der Liebe Sonne, 
wie schön, o Gott, ist deine Welt!
