Der Abend
German source:
Kosegarten, Ludwig
Temora glüht
Im Glanz der tiefgesunken Sonne.
Es küsst die See
Die Sinkende,
Von Ehrfurcht schaudernd und von Wonne.
Nacht hüllt den Strand,
Temora schwand.
Verlodert sind des Spätroths Gluthen.
Das Weltmeer grollt,
Und gluthroth rollt
Der Vollmond aus den düstern Fluthen.
The Evening

Temora glows
in the lustre of the setting sun.
The sinking sun
kisses the lake,
trembling in reverence and ecstasy.
Night covers the beach,
Temora fades away.
The sunset’s glow is extinguished.
The great sea roars,
And bloody swims the moon
Upon the gloomy flood.
