Märzabend
 (Sung text for setting by J. Wetzel)
 Matches original text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Heut es kein Abend werden will,
In alle Gassen hinein
Steht noch der Frühlingstag still.
Und der Laternen funkelnde Reih'n
Ziehen im letzten Tagesschein
Wie in die Halle des Himmels hinein.

Seht auch, es glänzen im Grau
Die Steine der Straßen noch blau.
Der Tag will den Stein nicht verlassen;
Er will ihn als Edelstein fassen,
Weil die Menschen darüber gegangen,
Die Menschen zu zwein und mit glühenden Wangen.
