by Christian Morgenstern (1871 - 1914)

Durch manchen Herbst
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Durch manchen Herbst des Leidens
mußt du, Herz,
eh dich die letzte goldne Sichel mäht.
Schon späht
ihr blankes Erz
nach deinem dunklen Blut.
Wie bald, so ruht,
verströmend Gold,
es, Abendröten gleich
in jenem Reich
des Ewigen Abends,
welcher Friede heißt!
O süßer Geist
der Nächte,
sei mir hold!

Confirmed with Christian Morgenstern, Sämtliche Dichtungen, Abteilung 1, Band 7, Basel, 1971–1973, page 92.
