by Sándor Petőfi (1823 - 1849)

Alkony
Language: Hungarian (Magyar) 
Olyan a nap, mint a hervadt rózsa,
Lankadtan bocsátja le fejét;
Levelei, a halvány sugárok,
Bús mosollyal hullnak róla szét.

Néma, csendes a világ körűlem,
Távol szól csak egy kis estharang,
Távol s szépen, mintha égbül jönne
Vagy egy édes álomból e hang.

Hallgatom mély figyelemmel. Oh ez
Ábrándos hang jólesik nekem.
Tudj' isten, mit érzek, mit nem érzek,
Tudja isten, hol jár az eszem.
