Die Abendglocken
 (Sung text for setting by E. Moór)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT ENG FRE
Die Abendglocken klangen
  Schon durch das stille Thal,
Da saßen wir zusammen
  Da droben wohl hundertmal.

Und unten war's so stille
  Im Lande weit und breit,
Nur über uns die Linde
  Rauscht' durch die Einsamkeit.

Was gehn die Glocken heute,
  Als ob ich weinen müßt'?
Die Glocken, die bedeuten
  Daß mein Lieb' gestorben ist!

Ich wollt', ich läg' begraben,
  Und über mir rauschte weit
Die Linde jeden Abend
  Von der schönen, alten Zeit!
