Dies sind die letzten Tage mir im Jahr: Die Astern blühen in den Beeten. Die Luft ist kirchenstill und blau und klar, Und ganz erfüllt vom Dufte der Reseden. Kein Vogelschlag durchdringt den Sonnenschein; Doch unablässig zirpen die Zikaden. Bei ihrem Singen geh' ich einmal ein Nach langen Jahren zu des Himmels Gnaden.
