by Joseph Karl Benedikt, Freiherr von Eichendorff (1788 - 1857)

Abendlandschaft
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE
Chosen for Diff
Der Hirt blast seine Weise, 
Von fern ein Schuß noch fällt, 
Die Wälder rauschen leise 
Und Ströme tief im Feld. 

Nur hinter jenem Hügel 
Noch spielt der Abendschein - 
O hätt ich, hätt ich Flügel,
Zu fliegen da hinein!

Confirmed with Joseph Freiherrn von Eichendorff, Gedichte, Berlin, Verlag von M. Simion, 1841, page 220.
