by Gustav Pfarrius (1800 - 1884)

Es geht der Tag zur Neige
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE
Es geht der Tag zur Neige,
Der Licht und Freiheit bot,
O schweige, Vöglein, schweige,
Du singst dich in den Tod;

Die Winde nächtlich rauschen,
Die Blätter zittern bang,
Den Feinden, die drin lauschen,
Verräth dich dein Gesang;

Gluthäugig durch's Gezweige
Der finstre Schuhu droht:
O schweige, Vöglein, schweige,
Du singst dich in den Tod!
