Die Abendglocke schallt
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Die Abendglocke schallt
Vom Berg hinab in's Thal.
Der Schütze kehrt vom Wald,
Der Hirte treibt zum Stall,
Und heimwärts kehrt vom See
Der Fischer auch, Juheh!

Voll Hoffnung für den Fang
Wirft er die Netze aus,
Und wenn der Zug gelang,
Kehrt er erfreut nach Haus,
Und in des Weibchens Näh
Schwingt er den Hut, Juheh!

Den immer gleichen Sinn
Trübt ihm nicht Sturmeswuth,
War klein auch sein Gewinn
Verliert er nicht den Muth;
Denn morgen kann der See
Ihm günstig seyin, Juheh!

So baut er immer gleich
Die Hoffnung auf sein Glück,
Und kehrt, wenn auch nicht reich,
Getröstet doch zurück;
Denn morgen kann der See
Ihm günstig seyn, Juheh!
