THE LITTLE EVENING BELL
Vincenz Zusner (1803-1874)
|
Des
Glöckchens Schall durchtönt das Tal,
Mir Ruhe zu verkünden;
Nur ich allein mit meiner Pein
Vermag sie nicht zu finden. |
The little bell is resounding through the
valley,
To announce peace to me;
I, however, alone with my pain,
Cannot find it. |
Wann
läutest du denn mir zur Ruh'
Von deinem Kirchlein droben?
Sei ruhig, Herz! Ein jeder Schmerz
Hört einmal auf zu toben. |
When will you ring me to my rest
From your little church up there?
Be quiet, heart! Any pain
Will stop to ravage in the end. |
Einst
wird dich schon des Glöckchens Ton
Mit deiner Qual versöhnen.
Und schweigt der Klang auch noch so lang,
Er muß doch endlich tönen! |
One day the little bell's sound
Will reconcile you with your torments.
And even if the sound is silent for a long time
It must resound at last! |
