I skovens dybe stille ro, hvor sangerhære bo, hvor sjælen lytted mangen gang til fuglens glade sang; der er idyllisk stille fred i skovens ensomhed, og hjertets længsler tie her, hvor fred og hvile er. Hør! landsbyklokken lyder ned, bebuder aftenfred, småfuglen, før den går til blund, end kvidrer lidt en stund; i mosen kvækker højt en frø, stærkt damper mark og sø; nu klokken tier - aftenens fred sig stille sænker ned.

In stiller Waldestiefen Ruh hört’ ich den Vöglein zu; so manches Mal für mich erklang ihr fröhlicher Gesang. Hier in des Waldes Einsamkeit herrscht Friede weit und breit; des Herzens Sehnsucht schweiget hier im stillen Waldrevier. Vom Dorf her durch die Abendluft zur Ruh die Glocke ruft; das Vöglein, eh’ es schlummert ein, noch singt’s im letzten Schein; ein Frosch quakt weithin aus dem Moor, der Nebel steigt empor; die Glocke schweigt und unverwandt sinkt Friede auf das Land.
