Herbstlied
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Des Herbstes Fäden weben 
Durch's Feld wie weisser Duft,
Die muntern Schwalben schweben
In hehrer, blauer Luft,
Sie üben dei Flügel zur fröhlichen Reise,
Denn über die Hügel, da säuselt es leise:
  "Lieb' Vöglein mein, lieb' Vöglein mein,
  Der Winter zieht ins Land herein."

Die Heerden von der Weide 
Geh'n heim zur Winterruh',
Die Blümlein auf der Haide
Tun ihre Äuglein zu,
Es wehen und steicheln die spielenden Winde,
Und wiegen und schmeicheln und küssen sie linde:
  "Lieb' Blümlein mein, lieb' Blümlein mein,
  Der böse Winter kommt, schlaft ein."
