by Richard Smekal (1888 - 19??)

Abendlied in der großen Stadt
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Nun dunkeln alle Gassen ein
und alle Felder werden klein,
der Abend steht an allen Enden.
Und wer die Liebste nahe hat
in dieser dumpfen, schweren Stadt,
wird still und nimmt sie bei den Händen.
 
Doch wer sie ferne weiß wie ich,
der wird ganz leis' und innerlich
und wartet froh ergeben....
Die Sterne wandern immerzu,
auch ihn wird einmal Trost und Ruh'
und Gutsein aus dem Dunkel heben.
