Der Abend wandert übers dunkle Land

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG FIN

Chosen for Diff

Der Abend wandert übers dunkle Land,
auf meinem Haupt ruht deine liebe Hand,

und deine Stimme, süss und dämmerleise,
singt eine alte liebe Kinderweise,

so abendmild . . im Traume hör ich zu,
und alles Leid und Sehnen geht zur Ruh.
