Die Sonne scheidet hinter dem Gebirge. In allen Tälern steigt der Abend nieder Mit seinen Schatten, die voll Kühlung sind. O sieh! Wie eine Silberbarke schwebt Der Mond am blauen Himmelssee herauf. Ich spüre eines feinen Windes Wehn Hinter den dunklen Fichten! Der Bach singt voller Wohllaut durch das Dunkel. Die Blumen blassen im Dämmerschein. Die Erde atmet voll von Ruh und Schlaf, Alle Sehnsucht will nun träumen. Die müden Menschen gehn heimwärts, Um im Schlaf vergeßnes Glück Und Jugend neu zu lernen! Die Vögel hocken still in ihren Zweigen. Die Welt schläft ein! Es wehet kühl im Schatten meiner Fichten. Ich stehe hier und harre meines Freundes; Ich harre sein zum letzten Lebewohl. Ich sehne mich, o Freund, an deiner Seite Die Schönheit dieses Abends zu genießen. Wo bleibst du? Du läßt mich lang allein! Ich wandle auf und nieder mit meiner Laute Auf Wegen, die vom weichen Grase schwellen. O Schönheit! O ewigen Liebens - Lebenstrunkne Welt!

El sol s'acomiada darrera les muntanyes. El capvespre baixa a totes les valls amb les seves ombres plenes de frescor. Oh, Mira! La lluna està suspesa en el llac del cel com si fos una barca d'argent. Sento com bufa un oratge suau darrera els foscos avets! El rierol canta ple d'harmonia a través de la foscor. Les flors empal·lideixen en la llum crepuscular. La terra respira plena de tranquil·litat i de repòs, tots els anhels volen ara somiar. Els homes, cansats, tornen a casa, per, en el somni, poder experimentar de nou la felicitat i la joventut oblidades! Els ocells s'arrauleixen en les seves branques. El món s'ha adormit! Venteja fredament a l'ombra dels meus avets. Sóc aquí i espero amb afany el meu amic; espero fins al seu últim adéu. Desitjo, oh amic meu, gaudir la bellesa d'aquest capvespre al teu costat. On ets tu? M'has deixat sol massa temps! Camino amunt i avall amb el meu llaüt per camins plens d'herba tendra. Oh bellesa! Oh vida eterna -- món ebri de vida!
