Herbst will es werden allerwärts. Ob Astern auch und Georginen Im Garten glühn mit Freudemienen, Sie tragen doch geheimen Schmerz. Die Abendberge träumen nun So gold und rot am blauen Bande, Als wär es rings im weiten Lande Um lauter Glanz und Luft zu tun. Auch meine Träume schmücken sich Und summen liebe Jugendweisen Und tun bekränzte Heimatreisen Und blicken still und feierlich. Und dennoch weiß mein tiefster Sinn: Von meines Lebens Sonnenzeiten Ist wieder eine im Entgleiten Und heute, morgen schon dahin.

L'automne arrive de tous côtés, Même si les asters et les dahlias À la joyeuse mine brillent dans le jardin Il portent une secrète douleur. Au soir les montagnes en bande bleue Rêvent maintenant dans l'or et le rouge, Comme si autour, dans le lointain pays, N'importait que l'air et le pur éclat. Mes rêves aussi se parent Et fredonnent les chères chansons de jeunesse Et empruntent nimbés le chemin du retour, Avec un regard calme et solennel. Et pourtant au plus profond de moi je sais Que les moments ensoleillés de ma vie S'échappent à nouveau, Et aujourd'hui, demain auront déjà disparu.
