Leise fällt ein Schnee auf das Land. Leise fällt ein Schnee auf das Herz. Bald sind wir zugeschneit. Wie schön du müde bist, du junge Frau! Und in weißem Nebel träumt die rote Sonne, im Nebel ein feurig Herz. Es hat sich müd geglänzt, das hat sich müd geliebt. Nun will es ruhn und schlafen. Wie schön du schlafen wirst, du junge Frau!
Confirmed with Alfred Mombert, Tag und Nacht. Gedichte, Heidelberg: Verlag von J. Hörning, 1894, page 92

Quietly a snow falls upon the land. Quietly a snow falls upon the heart. Soon we shall be snowed in. How beautifully you are weary, you young woman! And the red sun dreams in the white mist, a fiery heart in the mist. It has gleamed until weary, it has loved until weary. Now it wishes to rest and sleep. How beautifully you shall sleep, you young woman!
