Evening Songs, B.61 (Dvořák, Antonín)

		Movements/Sections 12 songs Ty hvězdičky tam na nebi / The stars that twinkle in the sky Mně zdálo se žes umřela / I dreamed that you were dead Já jsem ten rytíř z pohádky / I am that fairy-tale knight Když Bůh byl nejvíc rozkochán / When God was in a happy mood Umlklo stromů šumění / The soughing of the trees Přilítlo jaro z daleka / The spring came flying Když jsem se díval do nebe / Visions of Heaven Vy malí, drobní ptáčkové birds / You little tiny singing birds Jsem jako lípa košatá / Just like a lime tree Vy všichni, kdo jste stísněni / All you who are oppressed Ten ptáček, ten se nazpívá / That little bird sings Tak jak ten měsíc v nebes báň / And so as the moon Composition Year 1876, revised 1880–83?
