by Ferdinand Ludwig Anders (1806 - 1872), as Ferdinand Stolle

Und thät der Abend sinken
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Und thät der Abend sinken, 
Sitzt sie am Baches Rand, 
Und gibt dem Reh zu trinken 
Aus ihrer kleinen Hand.  

Und ringsum Blumen blühen, 
Sie sitzt inmitten drin  --  
Die Abendwolken ziehen, 
Still über ihr dahin. 

Und ringsum tiefes Schweigen, 
Das Mägdlein heimwärts zieht  --  
Ein Vogel in den Zweigen 
Singt ihr das Abendlied.
