Abendlied

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE
Herz, und verlangst du nicht Ruhe?
Welt ist so still, wie das Grab.
Hinter die dunkele Fluhe
Sank schon die Sonne hinab.
Horch! Die Glocke sie läutet zum Ruh'n,
Ruhe, ruhe du nun!
Läutet dir, dir auch zum Ruh'n.

Flieht nicht die herrlichste Wonne,
Ehe der Morgen erwacht?
Sind nicht erloschen der Sonne
Strahlen in finsterer Nacht?
Horch! Die Glocke sie hallt und verhallt,
Und wie bald
Schweigest du, o wie bald!
