Des Dichters Abendgang
"Des Dichters Abendgang" ("The Poets Evening Stroll") is an art song composed by Richard Strauss using the text of a poem with the same name by Ludwig Uhland (1787–1862), the second in his Opus 47 collection, (TrV 200) which was published in 1900.[4] The 1918 orchestral arrangement calls for the following instruments: The poem captures the enlightenment and transcendence felt by the poet as he takes his evening stroll.In hoher Feier schwebt dein Geist, Du schauest in des Tempels Hallen, Wo alles Heil’ge sich erschleußt Und himmlische Gebilde wallen.Your spirit soars in royal celebration, You peer into the halls of the temple, Where all of salvation unlocks itself And heavenly forms float in the air.In silent emotion you will go, You carry within yourself the blessing of song, The light, that you saw there, Gently shines upon you on the dark paths.
