by Franz Wilhelm Traugott Beyschlag (1826 - 1856)

Am Abend
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Choose for Diff
Wann erst nach Sonnenuntergang
Der Himmel gluthroth schimmert,
Fern über tönt der Glockenklang,
Der Thau im Grase flimmert.  
Da ist es doch, als rief es sacht  -- 
Ich hör' es wohl mit Thränen  --
Gute Nacht!   Gute Nacht! 

Die Blume schließt die Blätter zu,  --  
Sahst du die Blume prangen?
Die Vöglein nicken auch in Ruh',  -- 
Hörtest du, wie sie sangen?
Es ruht die Welt so kühl, so sacht,  --  
Mein Herz, das ruhet nimmer  --  
Gute Nacht!  Gute Nacht! 

Confirmed with Haideröschen. Nachgelassene Gedichte von Franz Beyschlag, Berlin: L. Rauh, 1863. Page 17.
