Die Stille lieb' ich und das falbe Licht Und einen Herbst mit reifen Melodien, Wenn alle Dinge sanft sind im Verzicht Und sich mit weißen Fäden scheu umziehn. Und wenn in bunten, rastlosen Alleen Ein Abend hängt, der kein Verlangen ruft, Und Menschen mit sich selber einsam gehn, Die Alles heimlich haben, Glanz und Duft.
