Die Abendsonne
 (Sung text for setting by C. Loewe)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Goldne Abendsonne,
O, wie bist du schön! 
Nie kann ohne Wonne 
Deinen Glanz ich sehn.

 ... 

Schon in zarter Jugend 
Sah ich gern nach dir, 
Und der Trieb der Tugend 
Glühte mehr in mir.

 ... 

Doch von dir, o Sonne, 
Wend' ich meinen Blick 
Mit noch grössrer Wonne 
Auf mich selbst zurück.

Schuf uns ja doch beide 
Eines Gottes Hand,           
Dich im Strahlenkleide,        
Mich im Staubgewand.
