Der Abend
Language: German (Deutsch)
Our translations: ENG
Goldene Sonne, wie hehr Sinkst du in rötendem Glanz; Silberne Sterne, wie schön Ist euer flimmernder Tanz! Fruchtende Halme, wie schwer Tragt ihr das körnige Haupt; Singende Mücken, o wer? Hat euch den Stachel geraubt! Strahlende Luna, wie rein Ist dein hellblinkendes Licht, Zeuge der Liebe, verbirg Dich unsrer Seligkeit nicht!
