'''"{{lang|de|Abendempfindung}}"''', also known by its dedication, ''"Abendempfindung, an Laura"'', is a song by [[Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart]] to a poem by [[Joachim Heinrich Campe]]. A premonition of the protagonist's own death it still ends on a serene note: the fond memories of the friends who remain to grieve are presented as a font of consolation.<p> | |||
According to some scholars<ref name="Freemasons"/>, the symbolism is deeply Freemason; the poet Campe is also said to have belonged to this exclusive circle. Also, the publication coincides with the last letter to Wolfgang's father Leopold Mozart that transports a similar sentiment.<ref name="Brief"/> | |||
<p> | |||
The dedication "To Laura" – once probably mis-spelt as "to Lana"<ref name="Laura"/>, has little if nothing to do with Mozart.<p> | |||
''"Abendempfindung"'' appears on the following album: | |||

The first letter of each line has been capitalized. | |||
<nowiki>*</nowiki>) Original: There is a comma after "Bald" that makes no grammatical sense. | |||
<nowiki>**</nowiki>) Original: "fliesset", because the s in "fließet" is distributed on two notes in the sheet music. Otherwise, "ß" is correct. | |||
<nowiki>***</nowiki>) Original: "Bald vieleicht mir weht, wie Westwind leise, Eine stille Ahnung zu:". Modified to | |||
"Bald vieleicht – mir weht, wie Westwind leise, Eine stille Ahnung zu! – congruent to the printed text version quoted by Paisey<ref name="BritishLibrary"/> The first dash is essential punctuation to separate the parenthesis that follows from the "Bald vielleicht". | |||

Luna throws her silver glance. | |||
Thus life's fairest hours are fast diminish'd, | |||
Whirling by in rapid dance! | |||
Soon the chequer'd scene will pass before us, | |||
And the curtain downward move; | |||
Our play then will end, and tears shed o'er us | |||
Friendship's sweet remembrance prove. | |||
Soon perhaps there comes to me a ''presage'' | |||
Breathing like the gentle west; | |||
From this pilgrimage a heave'nly message | |||
Calling to the land of Rest! | |||
And when ye, dear friends, for me be wailing, | |||
Mournful weep beside my grave, | |||
Then will I in spirit come, unveiling | |||
Glimpses of Heav'n that sends to save. | |||
Do thou too a tear bestow, | |||
and tender Violets bring the turf to grace; | |||
May thine eyes, a soul's bright thoughts which render, | |||
Softly view my resting place. | |||
Then vouchsafe one tear my loss regretting, | |||
Yes, one tear for me, dear girl!<nowiki>*</nowiki> | |||
O in my appointed diadem's setting | |||
This wil beam the richest pearl.</poem> | |||
