1.   [sung text not yet checked]
by Max Battke (1863 - 1916), op. 44 (Primavista-Lieder. Zum Gebrauch in Schulen u. Konservatorien) no. 26, published [1912] [ voice and piano ], Gr. Lichterfelde: Vieweg
Language: German (Deutsch) 
  O wie so freundlich grüßest du,
Abendsonne[,] das junge Grün!
O wie lächelst so hold du zu
Jedem Zweige, der will erblühn!
  Weit in den Landen
Haben die Auen den Gruß verstanden:
  Rings wie schön
Blühen die Höhn! 
  Ach, und wie schimmert das Grün zur Stund
Wundersam in dem tiefsten Grund!

  Strahlende Sonne, gehest du,
Segen spendend zum letzten Mal,
Hinterm Walde nun auch zur Ruh,
Sieh, und wandelt die Nacht in's Thal:
  Ein Mal noch danken
Wollen dir Auen und Blüthenranken:
  Rings wie schön
Leuchten die Höhn! 
  Ach! und wie grüßet in frischer Luft,
Sonne, dich noch der Blüthenduft!

by Friedrich Heinrich Oser (1820 - 1891)
1. Springtime evening
Language: English 
  Oh, evening sun, how amiably
You greet the young greenery!
How beautifully so smile upon
Every branch that wishes to blossom!
  Far in the lands
The meadows have understood the greeting:
  How beautifully round about
The heights bloom!
  Ah, and how the green shimmers at this hour
Wondrously in the deepest land!

  Beaming sun, when bestowing blessings
For the last time you, too,
Go to rest behind the forest,
Lo, and when night wanders into the valley:
  Once more yet the meadows
And blossoming vines wish to thank you:
  How beautifully round about
The heights are shining!
  Ah! and how in the fresh air, sun,
The scent of the blossoms still greets you!
