Abendlied
 (Sung text for setting by E. Mayer)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Wenn der Abendstern die Rosen
Still mit Sehnsuchts Blicken grüßt,
Und bei lauer Weste Kosen,
Blume sich an Blume schließt,
Dann ergreift mich heißes Bangen,
Ach! zu ruhn an deiner Brust,
Und von deinem Arm umfangen,
Zu vergehn in Schmerz und Lust.
 
Wennin grüner Waldung Mitte,
Rings von Blum und Busch umkränzt
Nun des Landmanns stille Hütte,
Friedlich süß im Mondlicht glänzt,
Ach! dann wünsch ich mir hienieden,
Solch ein Hüttchen, still und arm,
Seelger Unschuld Himmelsfrieden,
Und den Tod in Deinem Arm!
