Drei Männerchöre , opus 608

by Franz Wilhelm Abt (1819 - 1885)

1. Sommerabend (Dämmern sinkt der Sommerabend)  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Dämmernd liegt der Sommerabend
Über Wald und grünen Wiesen;
Goldner Mond, [am]1 blauen Himmel,
Strahlt herunter, duftig labend.

An dem Bache zirpt die Grille,
Und es regt sich in dem Wasser,
Und der Wandrer hört ein Plätschern,
Und ein Athmen in der Stille.

Dorten, [an]2 dem Bach alleine,
Badet sich die schöne Elfe;
Arm und Nacken, weiß und lieblich,
Schimmern in dem Mondenscheine.

2. Seelentrost  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
   Gräm' dich nur nicht so viel,
Und bleibe fromm und still,
Dann hilft der Himmel dir zu deinem besten Ziel;
   Glaub', jedes Herzeleid
Währt keine Ewigkeit,
Das sei dein Liebestrost in aller trüben Zeit.
 
   Hat Mancher mehr vollbracht
Als er wohl selbst gedacht,
Weil Gottes Hand ihn führte in der tiefsten Nacht:
   So zag' auch du nicht mehr,
Blick' auf zum Sternenheer,
Und in die weite schöne Welt rings um dich her!
