Abendläuten
 (Sung text for setting by J. Marx)
 Matches original text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  FRE
In deine langen Wellen,
tiefe Glocke
leg ich die leise Stimme
meiner Traurigkeit;
in deinem Schwingen
löst sie
sanft sich auf,
verschwistert nun
dem ewigen Gesang
der Lebensglocke,
Schicksalsglocke,
die 
zu unsern Haupten
läutet, läutet, läutet.
Note: in Marx's manuscript, there's a mistake in line 5: "in deinen Schwingen"
