by Heinrich Leuthold (1827 - 1879)

Herbstgefühl
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Die ganze Schöpfung steht in Trauer;
Das Laub der Bäume färbt sich gelber,
Und ach! mir ist, als fühlt' ich selber
Im Herzen kalte Winterschauer.

Wie ringsum Alles stirbt und endet!
Bei diesem Welken und Verderben
Fleh' ich: o Gott, laß' mich nicht sterben,
Eh' ich ein schönes Werk vollendet!
