by Andreas Munch (1811 - 1884)

Ved Solnedgang
 (Sung text for setting by F. Delius)
 See base text
Language: Norwegian (Bokmål) 
Nu daler Solen sagte ned
bag Aasens fjerne Skove
og sender guldrød Aftenfred
ud over Eng of Vove.
En sød vemodig Hvisken gaar
igjennem Birkens Blade
Om Nattens Mulm, som forestaar
og vil sin Favn oplade.

 ... 

Frygt ej min Sjæl, sænk dig kun ned
i Nattens Dyb mod Solen,
Derfra opvælder Kjærlig hed
som Duft fra Natviolen.
Hvor Lyset Kilde gaar forud,
did kan du trøstig følge,
Og lade Nattens dybe Skrud
din hede Længsel dølge.
