Op. 192/1; Op. 411/1 and Op.540-1/2 use the same text. I do not know if these songs are based on the same melody.

Score:| Score #1: T solo + TTBB choir | Score #2: c1900 arr. edition S+SAB + keyboard arr. with English translation This could possibly be Op. 411 Hft 1 No. 1. (3 female voices) Until I see a score marked Op. 411 Hft 1 No. 1 that proves me wrong, I'll list it as such. |

| Leis sinkt der Dämm'rung Schleier Auf Wiese, Feld und Wald. Ein Glockenton erschallt, Und ruft zur Abendfeier. Ave, Maria! Ave, Maria! Du reine Jungfrau sei gegrüßt. Die uns der Liebe Leitstern ist, Und uns des Himmels Glück erschließt. Ave, Maria! Ave, Maria! Ave, Maria! Ave, Maria! | Der Liebe Stern im Abend Erglimmt in mildem Schein, Des müden Menschen Pein Mit Ruhverheißung labend. Ave, Maria! Ave, Maria! Du Stern der Liebe hast erquickt Das arme Herz, das Kummer drückt, Weil's um sich her nur Nacht erblickt. Ave, Maria! Ave, Maria! Ave, Maria! Ave, Maria! | Das Licht ist jetzt geschieden, Der Nachtgesang erklingt, Und süßer Schlummer bringt [Dem] Müden Ruh' und Frieden. Ave, Maria! Ave, Maria! Maria, Born des Friedens du, Führ' gnädig uns dem Himmel zu, Zur Ruh', zur ew'gen Ruh'. Ave, Maria! Ave, Maria! Ave, Maria! Ave, Maria! |

| The veil of eve is fal-ling O'er wood-land, field and plain. A bell, with dy-ing strain, to eve-ning rest is cal-ling. A bell, with dy-ing strain, to eve-ning rest is cal-ling. A-ve Ma-ri-a, A-ve Ma-ri-a. Thou spot-less mai-den, hail to thee, that deign'st our gui-ding star to be, to point to hea-ven's, hea-ven's fe-li-ci-ty, to thee all Hail, all hail! A-ve Ma-ri-a, a-ve Ma-ri-a. A-ve Ma-ri-a, a-ve Ma-ri-a. | ||
