by Wilhelm Weigand (1862 - 1949)

Sommerabend
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CHI ENG FRE NOR
Du Sommerabend! Heilig, goldnes Licht!
In sanftem Glühen steht die Flur entzündet.
Kein Laut, der dieses Friedens Lauschen bricht,
in ein Gefühl ist alles hingemündet.

Auch meine Seele sehnt sich nach der Nacht
und nach des Dunkels taugeperltem Steigen
und will nur lauschen, wie in Rosenpracht
die dunklen Himmelsstunden leuchtend schweigen.

Confirmed with Wilhelm Weigand, In der Frühe, Leipzig und Berlin: Georg Heinrich Meyer Heimatverlag, 1901, page 27. Appears in Im Übergang.
