by Emanuel von Geibel (1815 - 1884)

Wenn hinabgeglüht die Sonne
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wenn hinabgeglüht die Sonne,
Steht der Mond schon überm Tal,
Und den Abglanz ihrer Wonne
Gießt er aus im feuchten Strahl.

Also bleibt im tiefsten Herzen
Von versunknem großem Glück
Tröstlich für die Nacht der Schmerzen
Uns ein Widerschein zurück.

Meine Sonne schied für immer,
Meine Liebe schön und jung;
Laß mich ruhn in deinem Schimmer,
Sanfter Mond, Erinnerung!
