by Carl Friedrich Wiegand (1877 - 1942)

Weil ich jeden Abend einsam bin
 (Sung text for setting by W. Hess)
 Matches original text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Weil ich jeden Abend einsam bin, 
Steig ich schweigend in mein Segelboot, 
Einsam treib ich auf den Fluten hin, 
Einsam fahr ich in das Abendrot …

Keiner kennt mich an dem lauten Strand;
Keiner ahnt, wohin der Wind mich weht;
Keiner fragt, wohin mein Segel schwand,
Wenn die Sonne mit mir untergeht …

Composition:

    Set to music by Willy Hess (1906 - 1997), "Weil ich jeden Abend einsam bin", op. 84 no. 1, published [1977] [ medium voice and piano ], from Nach dem Hinschiede der Gattin : drei Gesänge für eine mittlere Stimme mit Klavierbegleitung, no. 1, Zürich : Eulenburg
