William Wordsworth, | William Wordsworth, | |
| translated by Manfred Retzlaff | ||
| It is a beauteous evening, calm and free, | Ein schöner Abend, Ruhe um mich her. | |
| The holy time is quiet as a Nun | Anbetend still verharrt die heil'ge Zeit, | |
| Breathless with adoration; the broad sun | Kein Lufthauch ist zu spüren weit und breit, | |
| Is sinking down in its tranquillity; | Rot glühend sinkt die Sonne in das Meer. | |
| The gentleness of heaven broods o'er the sea: | Des Himmels Güte lastet milde dort. | |
| Listen! the mighty Being is awake, | Doch horch! Das mächt'ge Wesen ist erwacht | |
| And doth with his eternal motion make | Und lässt mit seiner ew'gen Himmelsmacht | |
| A sound like thunder—everlastingly. | Ein fernes Donnern hören - immerfort. | |
| Dear Child! dear Girl! that walkest with me here, | ................ | |
| If thou appear untouch'd by solemn thought, | ................ | |
| Thy nature is not therefore less divine: | ................ | |
| Thou liest in Abraham's bosom all the year; | ................ | |
| And worshipp'st at the Temple's inner shrine, | ................ | |
| God being with thee when we know it not. | ................ | |
