by Nikolaus Lenau (1802 - 1850)
Language: German (Deutsch)
Friedlicher Abend senkt sich aufs Gefilde; Sanft entschlummert Natur, um ihre Züge Schwebt der Dämmerung zarte Verhüllung, und sie Lächelt die Holde; Lächelt, ein schlummernd Kind in Vaters Armen, Der voll Liebe zu ihr sich neigt, sein göttlich Auge weilt auf ihr, und es weht sein Odem Über ihr Antlitz.
