Evening
By Joseph von Eichendorff
Born 1788 Castle Lubowitz / Silesia, died 1857 Neisse

Translation: Der Abend

Silenced man’s loud joys:
Rustling earth as if in dreams
Wonderfully with its trees,
What the heart is scarce aware of,
Tender sadness, times of old,
And there waft, like distant lightning,
Gentle shudders through the soul.
