by Heinrich Steinheuer (1819 - 1889)

Abendsegen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
O lichte Glut!  o goldner Strahl! 
Der Abend zieht heran;
Die Sonne grüßt zum letztenmal:
Singe, wer singen kann! 

Am Sternenfeld des Himmels zieht
Der Mond die stille Bahn,
Der Berge letzter Schein verglüht: 
Bete, wer beten kann! 

O tiefe Ruh'!  o stille Nacht!
Der Träume Zeit bircht an;
O Märchenwelt!  o Zäberpracht:
Träume, wer träumen kann!
