by (Philipp) Karl (Christian S.) Sondershausen (1792 - 1882)

Pförtchen steht im Abendgolde
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Pförtchen steht im Abendgolde,
  Ach, wie flimmerhell und schön!
Sind es Engel, die dich Holde
  Bei dem Scheidegruß umsteh'n?

All' die hellen Maienstunden,
  Die dein Weggang mir nun raubt,
Rings zu Glorie verbunden
  Um dein schönes Lockenhaupt.

Gute Nacht, ja, muß ich sagen,
  Weil du, meine Sonne, sink'st,
Gute Nacht, zu schönen Tagen,
  Wann du wieder Morgen bringst.
