IN the sky the sun is falling,
And the weary day would sleep.
Here the willow fronds are trailing
In the water still and deep.
From my darling I must sever:
Stream, oh tears, stream forth amain!
In the breeze the rushes quiver
And the willow sighs in pain.
On my soul in silence grieving
Mild thou gleamest from afar,
As through rushes interweaving
Gleams the mirrored evening star.
