by Otto Julius Bierbaum (1865 - 1910)

Spätsommer

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG

Hellster, grellster Sommertag,
Sonnenglutdurchschwelte Luft,
Schwüler, schwerer Blumenduft,
Müd verhaltener Finkenschlag

Satte Reife weit und breit,
Leis schon übergilbt der Wald;
Bunt in Herbst verraschelt bald
Sommertraumstrosteinsamkeit.

Confirmed with Otto Julius Bierbaum, Der neubestellte Irrgarten der Liebe, um etliche Gaenge und Lauben vermehrt verliebte, launenhafte, moralische, und andere Lieder, Gedichte u. Sprueche aus den Jahren 1885 bis 1905, Insel-Verlag, 1910
