| translated by Manfred Retzlaff | ||
| Ein schöner Abend, Ruhe um mich her. | It is a beauteous evening, calm and free, | |
| Anbetend still verharrt die heil'ge Zeit, | The holy time is quiet as a Nun | |
| Kein Lufthauch ist zu spüren weit und breit, | Breathless with adoration; the broad sun | |
| Rot glühend sinkt die Sonne in das Meer. | Is sinking down in its tranquillity; | |
| Des Himmels Güte lastet milde dort. | The gentleness of heaven broods o'er the sea: | |
| Doch horch! Das mächt'ge Wesen ist erwacht | Listen! the mighty Being is awake, | |
| Und lässt mit seiner ew'gen Himmelsmacht | And doth with his eternal motion make | |
| Ein fernes Donnern hören - immerfort. | A sound like thunder—everlastingly. | |
| ................ | Dear Child! dear Girl! that walkest with me here, | |
| ................ | If thou appear untouch'd by solemn thought, | |
| ................ | Thy nature is not therefore less divine: | |
| ................ | Thou liest in Abraham's bosom all the year; | |
| ................ | And worshipp'st at the Temple's inner shrine, | |
| ................ | God being with thee when we know it not. | |
