Novemberstimmung
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): ENG
Die Flur umher
Es kalt durchweht,
Wo [nirgend]1 mehr
Ein Blümlein steht.
Im Wald zerstiebt
Das welke Laub --
Die ich geliebt,
Sind alle Staub.
[Sich]2 frühe neigt
Der Sonne Lauf,
Am Himmel steigt
Der Mond herauf.
Es füllt sich sacht
Das Sternenzelt.
Sie sind erwacht
In jener Welt.

November mood
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
It blows coldly through
The meadow round about,
Where not one little flower
Stands any longer.
In the forest the withered
Foliage is scattered --
Those whom I loved
Are all dust.
The sun's pathway
Leads downward [early]1,
Upon the heavens
The moon rises.
The canopy of the stars
Fills itself gently.
They have awakened
In that other world.
