Abend

Goldgewölk und Nachtgewölke,
Regenmüde still vereint:
Also lächelt eine welke
Seele, die sich satt geweint.

Doch die Sonne sinkt und ziehet
Nieder alle eitle Pracht,
Und das Goldgewölk verglühet
Und verbrüdert sich der Nacht.

by Martin Greif (1839-1911) [pseudonym] , "Abend", from Lieder

Sera

Nubi d'oro e nubi grige
Si radunan lente in ciel
Qual sorride un cor straziato
Cui di pianto s'apre il vel.
Ma tramonta il sol, privando
Pure il ciel di suo splendor;
De le nubi l'or s'affiocca
Ne la notte, nel tenebror.
