Blätterfall
Language: German (Deutsch)
Leise, windverwehte Lieder,
Mögt ihr fallen in den Sand!
Blätter seid ihr eines Baumes,
Welcher nie in Blüthe stand.
Welke, windverwehte Blätter,
Boten naher Winterruh',
Fallet sacht! . . . ihr deckt die Gräber
Mancher todten Hoffnung zu.

Fall of leaves
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
Quiet, windblown songs,
May you fall into the sand!
You are leaves of a tree
That never blossomed.
Withered, windblown leaves,
Messengers of the nearing winter-rest,
Fall gently! . . . you cover the graves
Of many a dead hope.
