Abendlied
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT FRE
Leise geht der Tag zur Rüste;
purpurrot zum letztenmal
glüht der Wald, als ob ihn küsste
heiß der Sonne goldner Strahl.

Weiße Nebelschleier steigen
wallend aus dem See empor.
Rings ist Stille nur und Schweigen
und kein Laut klingt an mein Ohr.

Und es streben alle müden Seelen
nun der Heimat zu.
Denn der Abend lockt mit Frieden
und die Nacht mit süßer Ruh.

Und in ferne Weltenweiten
wogt die Seele mir hinaus,
gleich als wollte sie bereiten
sich zum ewgen Flug ins Vaterhaus.
