Stiller fliedertrunkner Sommerabend,
Steigest hernieder du in ruhiger Pracht
Bringest die Sehnsucht mir, duftschwer und labend
Folgt dir die maienklingende singende Nacht.

Leise hauchet die Luft, und leise bewegen
Die Bäume und Sträucher ihre Wipfel, sehnend und schwer
Nicken dir befruchtenden Nacht sie entgegen!
Rufen die heimlich trunkenen Wünsche mir her.

Composition:

    Set to music by Luise Greger (1862 - 1944), "Stiller fliedertrunkner Sommerabend", op. 28 [ voice and piano ]
