by Anonymous / Unidentified Author and possibly by Johanna Müller-Hermann (1878 - 1941)

Herbst
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Sonne, bist du müd‘ geworden,
daß so früh du gehst zur Ruh‘?
Abendwind mit leisem Schauer
Weht mir Herbstesodem zu.

In den Lüften schwärmen Schwalben,
sie lehren ihre Jungen,
im Flug das Sonnenland erreichen,
O, o lehrten sie’s auch mich!

Wann meiner Seele tiefes Sehnen,
wann wirst du stiller?
Auf den Wellen meines Bächleins
Seh‘ ich welke Blätter treiben.
Dämmerschleier sinken nieder,
und es dunkelt mir im Herzen.
