by Friedrich Rückert (1788 - 1866)

Die Schwalbe schwingt zum Abendliede
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT
Die Schwalbe schwingt zum Abendliede
Sich auf das Stänglein unterm Dach,
Im Feld und in der Stadt ist Friede,
Fried' ist im Haus und im Gemach.

Ein Schimmer fällt vom Abendrote
Leis in die stille Straß' herein
Und vorm Entschlafen sagt der Bote
Es werd' ein schöner Morgen sein.
