Herbstgefühl
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): ENG FRE
Verwelkte Blätter, entseelte Götter,
Erloschne Liebe, versunknes Glück.
Das Laub der Bäume, der Jugend Träume,
Sie sinken mählich in das Nichts zurück.
Was rauscht die Linde, was seufzt im Winde?
Gar todesbange so Busch wie Strauch.
Erstorbene Triebe, erloschene Liebe,
die Welt durchschauert ein Grabeshauch.

Sentiment d'automne
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch)
Des feuilles fanées, des dieux sans vies,
Un amour mourant, un bonheur englouti.
Le feuillage des arbres, les rêves de la jeunesse,
Graduellement disparaissent dans le néant.
Que murmure le tilleul, que soupire le vent ?
Le buisson comme l'arbuste craignent beaucoup la mort.
Les désirs éteints, l'amour mourant,
Un souffle de tombeau parcourt le monde.
