by Caroline Pichler (1769 - 1843)

Die Abendglocke auf dem Berge
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Abend ist's, mit leisen Düften
Sinkt die Dämm'rung in das Thal,
In den stillen, dunklen Lüften
Tönet nur vom Felsenwall
Feierlich der Glocken Hall.

Wie von steilen Berges Höhen
Dort der Thurm [herunterblinkt]1!
Und mit dieser Töne Wehen
Alles eitle Sorgen sinkt,
Tiefe Ruh ins Herz mir dringt.

Süße Klänge, mildes Tönen,
In dir löset sich mein Herz,
Und dein unbezwinglich Sehnen
Zieht die Seele himmelwärts,
Über Erdenlust und Schmerz.
