4. Der Abend  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Schweigt der Menschen laute Lust:
Rauscht die Erde wie in Träumen
Wunderbar mit allen Bäumen,
Was dem Herzen kaum bewusst,
Alte Zeiten, linde Trauer,
Und es schweifen leise Schauer
Wetterleuchtend durch die Brust.

7. Seit die Sonne ihren lichten Schein  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Seit die Sonne ihren lichten Schein
vor der Kälte hat geneiget
und der kleine Vögelein
sommerliches Singen schweiget,
traurig ist das Herze mein;
denn es will nun Winter sein,
der uns seine Kraft erzeiget
an den Blumen, da man sieht
lichte Gluten
blaß verbluten;
davon mir geschieht
Leid, und Liebes flieht.

Language: German (Deutsch) 
[Hör]1 es klagt die Flöte wieder
Und die kühlen [Brunnen]2 rauschen,
Golden wehn die Töne nieder,

Durch die Nacht die mich umfangen,
Blickt zu mir der Töne Licht.
