Stille, hjerte, sol går ned

Stille, hjerte, sol går ned,
sol går ned bag heden,
dyr går hjem fra dagens bed,
storken står i reden.
Stille, hjerte, sol går ned.

Tavshed over hedesti
og langs veje krumme;
en forsinket humlebi
ene høres brumme.
Stille, hjerte, sol går ned.

Viben slår et enligt slag
over mosedammen,
før den under frytlens tag
folder vingen sammen.
Stille, hjerte, sol går ned.

Fjerne ruder østerpå
blusser op i gløden,
hededamme bittesmå
spejler aftenrøden.
Stille, hjerte, sol går ned.

by Jeppe Aakjær (1866-1930) , published 1912
