Beim Sonnenuntergang
 (Sung text for setting by K. Reinecke)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE
  Fahr' wohl, o goldne Sonne,
Du gehst zu deiner Ruh';
Und voll von deiner Wonne
Gehn mir die Augen zu.

  Schwer sind die Augenlider,
Du nimmst das Lied mir fort.
Fahr' wohl! wir sehn uns wieder
Hier unten oder dort.

  Hier unten, wenn sich wieder
Dies Haupt vom Schlaf erhob;
Dann blickest du hernieder
Und freuest dich darob.

  Und trägt des Tods Gefieder
Mich statt des Traums empor,
So schau' ich selbst hernieder
Zu dir aus höherm Chor.

  Und danke deinem Strahle
Für jeden schönen Tag,
Wo ich mit meinem Thale
In deinem Glanze lag.
