Abend am Meer
 (Sung text for setting by H. Marschner)
 Matches base text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
O sieh, der Abendhimmel glüht,
und Purpurwolken zogen,
als wären Rosen aufgeblüht,
dahin am Himmelsbogen.

Die Wellen strahlen es zurück,
sanft schwankend und vergehend;
hinauf, herab send' ich den Blick,
zum Meer, zum Himmel sehend.

Nun steigt der Mond im Silberschein
hell glänzend auf am Himmel,
und Sterne glitzern groß und klein
in unabsehbarem Gewimmel

Am Meere ruhend sehe ich
mit Lust hinauf, hernieder;
ein sanfter Frieden wieget mich,
mild fesselnd Herz und Glieder.

Note: Marschner's score indicates the author as "Mar. M.", which might be his wife Marianne Marschner.
