Abend
Language: German (Deutsch)
Endet schon des Tages Leben
und sein ganzes Glück?
Töne und Gestalten schweben
in sich selbst zurück.
Zwischen Wachen, zwischen Träumen
trinkt die Seele schon,
zugeweht aus andern Räumen,
leisen Harfenton.
Breite nun, du sternenschöne,
atemstille Nacht,
deine Schleier und versöhne
wo ein Leiden wacht.

Capvestre
Language: Catalan (Català)  after the German (Deutsch)
S'acaba ja la vida del dia,
amb tota la seva joia?
Els sons i les formes suren
tornant en si mateixos.
Entre el despertar i el somni,
l'ànima ja s'embeu,
portada per la brisa d'altres espais,
de les suaus notes d'una arpa.
Estén ara, oh nit estelada i bella,
d’hàlit silenciós,
els teus vels, i porta la pau
on vetlla el patiment.
