by Carl Siebel (1836 - 1868)

Die Sonne ist zur Ruh gegangen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Die Sonne ist zur Ruh gegangen, 
Und schweigend beten Wald und Flur. 
Erröthen färbt des Himmels Wangen; 
Des Ew'gen Nähe fühlet die Natur! 
Da schleicht sich leis in meine Seele 
Des Überird'schen Melodie, 
Und auf die Kniee sink ich nieder: 
Ave Maria!  Ave Marie!  

Die Abendroth-durchglänzten Räume 
Erzittern, wie das Herz in mir; 
Ein Flüstern geht durch Flur und Bäume, 
Sie fühlen mit mir:  Friede sei mit dir!  --  
O Abendfrieden!  Gottes Nähe! 
Wer sie gekannt, vergißt sie nie! 
Und tiefer beug' ich mich zur Erde: 
Ave Maria!  Ave Marie!
