Es blüht um mich des Abends Stille, es klingt noch fern ein letztes Lied, das von den weiten Gärten drüben im Abendwind herüberzieht. Das ist des Tages letztes Klingen, nun naht die nächtlich dunkle Ruh und deckt mit ihren Friedensschleiern still alle heiße Sehnsucht zu.

The silence of the evening blossoms around me; from afar resounds one last song that floats in from the wide gardens over there in the evening breeze. It is the last sound of the day; now the dark calm of night approaches and with its peaceful veils it quietly blankets all passionate yearning.
