Dämmerung
 (Sung text for setting by T. Adorno)
 Matches original text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Am Himmel steht der erste Stern,
Die Wesen wähnen Gott den Herrn,
Und Boote laufen sprachlos aus,
Ein Licht erscheint bei mir zu Haus.

Die Wogen steigen weiß empor,
Es kommt mir alles heilig vor.
Was zieht in mich bedeutsam ein?
Du sollst nicht immer traurig sein.
