Abendlied
 (Sung text for setting by R. Stephan)
 Matches base text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Reglos steht der alte Baum,
Alles Leid verwehet.
Jedem wünsch' ich seligen Traum,
Der nun schlafen gehet.

Mir doch kommt der Schlummer nicht.
Mond und liebe Sterne
Trösten mich mit ihrem Licht:
Hoffen in die Ferne.

Ach, von aller Lust und Pein
Einmal nur entkleidet
Wird das Herz geborgen sein;
Nichts, was es mehr leidet.

Composition:

    Set to music by Rudi Stephan (1887 - 1915), "Abendlied", 1914, published 1921, from Sieben Lieder nach verschiedenen Dichtern, no. 6
