Leidenschaftlich strömt der Regen, Schluchzend wirft er sich ins Land, Bäche gurgeln in den Wegen Überfülltem See entgegen, Der noch jüngst so gläsern stand. Daß wir einmal fröhlich waren Und die Welt uns selig schien, War ein Traum. In grauen Haaren Stehn wir herbstlich und erfahren, Leiden Krieg und hassen ihn. Kahlgefegt und ohne Flitter Liegt die Welt, die einst gelacht; Durch entlaubter Äste Gitter Blickt der Winter todesbitter, Und es greift nach uns die Nacht.

2. Einsamkeit  [sung text checked 1 time]
[Der Weg ist schwer, der Weg ist weit]1, Doch kann ich nicht zurück; Wer einmal dein ist, Einsamkeit, Dem bist du Tod und Glück. Die Sehnsucht brennt; von drunten her Ruft mütterlich die Welt; Wie ist ihr Ruf von Liebe schwer, Wie rot von Lust erhellt. Doch wer den ersten Becher trank Vom Wasser Einsamkeit, Dem singt kein Vogel mehr zum Dank, Der geht nicht mehr zu zweit.

3. September  [sung text checked 1 time]
Der Garten trauert, Kühl sinkt in die Blumen der Regen. Der Sommer schauert Still seinem Ende entgegen. Golden tropft Blatt um Blatt Nieder vom hohen Akazienbaum. Sommer lächelt erstaunt und matt In den sterbenden Gartentraum. Lange noch bei den Rosen Bleibt er stehen, sehnt sich nach Ruh. Langsam tut er die großen Müdgewordnen Augen zu.
