Hesperus, der blasse Funken
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): FRE
Hesperus, der blasse Funken, Blinkt und winkt uns traurig zu. Wieder ist ein Tag gesunken In die stille Todesruh'; Leichte Abendwölkchen schweben Hin im sanften Mondesglanz, Und aus bleichen Rosen weben Sie dem toten Tag den Kranz. Friedhof der entschlaf'nen Tage, Schweigende Vergangenheit! Du begräbst des Herzens Klage, Ach, und seine Seligkeit!
