Drüben ging die Sonne scheiden

(Sung text for setting by H. Marteau)

Language: German (Deutsch)

Drüben ging die Sonne scheiden,
Und der müde Tag entschlief.
Niederhangen hier die Weiden
In den Teich, so still, so tief.

Und ich muß mein Liebstes meiden:
Quill, o Thräne, quill hervor!
Traurig säuseln hier die Weiden,
Und im Winde bebt das Rohr.

In mein stilles, tiefes Leiden
Strahlst du, Ferne! hell und mild,
Wie durch Binsen hier und Weiden
Strahlt des Abendsternes Bild.

Là‑haut le soleil s'en va

(Sung text translation for setting by H. Marteau)

See original

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

Là-haut le soleil s'en 
Et le jour fatigué s'est endormi.
Ici les saules se penchent
Sur l'étang, si calme, si profond.

Et je dois me séparer de ma très chère:
Coule, ô larme, jaillis!
Ici les saules murmurent tristement,
Et dans le vent les roseaux tremblent.

Dans ma peine silencieuse et profonde,
Tu rayonnes, lointaine! claire et douce,
Comme ici, à travers les joncs et les saules
Rayonne le reflet de l'étoile du soir.
