Am Abend
Language: German (Deutsch)
Our translations: ENG
Hoch oben an den Flühen Still ward's im Tannenwald; Die Felsen rings verglühen, Und jeder Klang verhallt. Der Bach nur leise, leise Singt in dem tiefsten Grund Noch eine Schlummerweise Den Weiden in der Rund. Und ihrem Neste fliegen Die letzten Vögel zu: Könntst du auch, Herz, dich wiegen Wie sie zur Ruh, zur Ruh!
