Abschied
 (Sung text for setting by H. Pfitzner)
 Matches original text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT CHI DUT ENG FRE IRI ITA
Abendlich schon rauscht der Wald
Aus den tiefsten Gründen,
Droben wird der Herr nun bald
An die Sternlein zünden,
Wie so stille in den Schlünden,
Abendlich nur rauscht der Wald.

Alles geht zu seiner Ruh,
Wald und Welt versausen,
Schauernd hört der Wandrer zu,
Sehnt sich recht nach Hause,
Hier in Waldes grüner Klause
Herz, geh' endlich auch zur Ruh!
