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.

Ilta vaeltaa pimeän maan yllä. Pääni päällä lepää sinun rakas kätesi ja sinun suloinen äänesi, hiljaisena kuin hämärä, laulaa vanhaa rakasta lastenlaulua, hellästi kuin ilta. Kuuntelen sitä unessa, ja kaikki tuska ja kaipaus lientyy ja rauhoittuu.
