by Gustav Pfarrius (1800 - 1884)
Es geht der Tag zur Neige
Language: German (Deutsch)
Es geht der Tag zur Neige, Der Licht und Freiheit bot, O schweige, Vöglein, schweige, Du singst dich in den Tod; Die Winde nächtlich rauschen, Die Blätter zittern bang, Den Feinden, die drin lauschen, Verräth dich dein Gesang; Gluthäugig durch's Gezweige Der finstre Schuhu droht: O schweige, Vöglein, schweige, Du singst dich in den Tod!
