German.png German text

Der Abend sinkt, im dunklen Nebelschleier
ruht still die Welt vom Mondenschein bestrahlt;
das glüh'nde Abendrot beginnt zu feiern
den Dank zu Gott, wenn es die Berge malt,
die Wolken schweben nieder
und freudig tönen Lieder
dem Schöpfer, der im Himmel wacht.
Gute Nacht, gute Nacht.
