Sanft glänzt die Abendsonne Auf diese stille Flur, Und strahlet Ruh und Wonne Auf jede Kreatur. Sie zeichnet Licht und Schatten Auf die beblümte Au; Und auf den grünen Matten Blitzt der krystallne Thau. Hier in der Zephyrn Spiele Beym frohen Vogelchor, Hier steigen Hochgefühle In meiner Brust empor. Ich athme süße Freuden Auf diesem Tempe1 ein, Mich fliehen Gram und Leiden Im milden Abendschein. Dir, der die Abendröthe Am Himmel ausgespannt Und süßes Nachtgeflöte Auf diese Flur gesandt, Dir sey dieß Herz geweihet, Das reiner Dank durchglüht, Es schlage noch erfreuet, Wenn einst das Leben flieht.
1 Tempe = Wonnegefilde (delightful realm)

Suau brilla el sol del capvespre damunt aquests camps silents i envia repòs i delícia a totes les criatures. Dibuixa llum i ombres a les prades florides; i damunt el verd herbam, brilla la rosada cristal•lina. Aquí en el joc dels zèfirs, vora l’alegre cor dels ocells, aquí sentiments d’èxtasi s’alcen al meu cor. Aleno dolços gaudis en aquest temple, la tristor i la pena fugen lluny de mi en la llum suau del capvespre. A tu, que la vermellor del crepuscle al cel escampes i dolços sons de la nit a aquests camps envies, a tu consagro aquest cor, abrandat de pur agraïment i que bategarà encara joiós quan un dia la vida s’enfugi.
