by (Carl Friedrich) Julius Altmann (1814 - 1873)

Abendlied
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Die Sonne geht hinunter
Roth hinterm Bergeswall;
Her von der Waldkapelle
Tönt süßer Glockenhall. 

Es ruht das stille Dörfchen
Zu meinen Füß hold,
Von Klängen reich umflossen
Und wie gefaßt in Gold. 

In's Herz mir selber leuchtet
Der milde Abendschein; 
Mir in die Seele läuten
Die Glocke sanft hinein.

Confirmed with Urania: Musik-Zeitung für Alle, welche das Wohl der Kirche besonders zu fördern haben, sechsundzwanzigster Jahrgang, Erfurt: G. W. Körner's Verlag, Double-issue, nos. 9 & 10, 1869, page 145.
