Im Abendrot

(Sung text for setting by F. Schubert)

Language: German (Deutsch)

O wie schön ist deine Welt,
Vater, wenn sie golden strahlet!
Wenn dein Glanz herniederfällt,
Und den Staub mit Schimmer malet;
Wenn das Roth, das in der Wolke blinkt,
In mein stilles Fenster sinkt!

Könnt' ich klagen, könnt' ich zagen?
Irre seyn an dir und mir?
Nein, ich will im Busen tragen
Deinen Himmel schon allhier.
Und dies Herz, eh' es zusammenbricht,
Trinkt noch Gluth und schlürft noch Licht.

Au coucher du soleil

(Sung text translation for setting by F. Schubert)

See original

Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)

Ô comme ton monde est beau,
Père, quand d'or il resplendit.
Quand ton éclat descend,
Et qu'il peint la poussière de sa lueur,
Quand le rouge, qui brille dans les nuages,
Tombe sur ma fenêtre paisible.

Pourrais-je gémir , pourrais-je hésiter ?
Me tromper sur toi et sur moi ?
Non, je porterai en mon sein
Ton ciel déjà ici.
Et ce cœur, avant qu'il se brise,
Boira encore ce feu et dévorera cette lumière.
