by Aloys Wilhelm Schreiber (1761 - 1841)

Du heilig, glühend Abendroth!
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE ITA
Du heilig, glühend Abendroth!
Der Himmel will in Glanz zerrinnen,
So scheiden Märtyrer von hinnen
Holdlächelnd in dem Liebestod.

Des Aufgangs Berge still und grau,
Am Grab des Tags die hellen Gluten,
Der Schwan auf purpurrothen Fluten,
Und jeder Halm im Silberthau!

O Sonne, Gottesstrahl, du bist
Nie herrlicher, als im Entfliehen,
Du willst uns gern hinüber ziehen,
Wo deines Glanzes Urquell ist.
