Klagend weint es in den Zweigen,
Grelle Blätter, windgewiegt,
Jäh von tollem Sturm besiegt,
Tanzen müd im Todesreigen.
Und die Wünsche, die aus herben
Wurzeln an das Licht geblüht,
Sinken klagend, sinken müd
In das große, große Sterben.

Automne
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch)
Il y a des pleurs plaintifs dans les branches,
des feuilles éclatantes, bercées par le vent,
soudainement vaincues par la tempête furieuse,
dansent, fatiguées, la ronde de la mort.
Et les désirs qui à partir des amères
racines ont fleuri vers la lumière,
sombrent en plaintes, sombrent dans la fatigue
dans la grande, grande mort.
Il y a des pleurs plaintifs dans les branches.
