Like a death-foreboding, dusk veils the lands
_____
Envelops the valley in dark attire
_____
The soul that longs for those heights
_____
Trembles before its flight through night and dread!
_____
Then you appear, O loveliest of stars
_____
You send your gentle light afar
_____
Your dear beam parts the nightly dusk
_____
And kindly shows the way out of the valley
_____
O you my gracious evening star
_____
I've always loved to greet you
_____
From the heart that never betrayed her
_____
Greet her as she passes by you
_____
When she rises above the valley of earth
_____
To become a blessed angel there

When she rises above the valley of earth

To become a blessed angel there
