Original text and translations

English text

Hark! the pealing,
Softly stealing,
    Evening bell,
Sweetly echoed
    Down the dell.

Welcome, welcome
Is thy music,
    Silvery bell,
Sweetly telling
    Day’s farewell!

Day is sleeping,
Flowers are weeping,
    Tears of dew;
Stars are peeping
    Ever true.

Grove and mountain,
Field and fountain,
    Faintly gleam,
In the ruddy
    Sunset stream.

Happy hour,
May thy power,
    Fill my breast
Each wild passion
    Soothe to rest.
