Abend

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG

Wie eine Linie dunkelblauen Schweigens
liegt fern der Horizont, von weichem Rot umsäumt.
Die Wipfel schaukeln leis wie 'm Banne eines Reigens,
das Licht ist wie im Märchen, sanft und blau verträumt.
Der Himmel ist noch hell, noch sieht man kaum die Sterne,
die Luft ist kühl und weich wie eine Frauenhand
und süße Melodie dringt aus der fernsten Ferne:
Musik einer Schalmei, zauberhaft, unbekannt.
