Im Abendrot (Richard Strauss - piano version) sung by Catherine Laidler Lau

We have gone hand in hand
Through joys and distress,
Now we rest from our wanderings
High above the quiet land.
Around us the valleys slope down,
The skies have begun to darken,
Only two larks, recalling a dream,
Soar up into the haze.
Come, and leave them to fly,
Soon it will be time to sleep,
We must not lose our way
In this solitude.
O vast and silent peace!
So deep in sunset glow,
How weary we are with wandering -
Could this perhaps be death?
