Monate im Lied

Song Cycle by Wilhelm Rettich (1892 - 1988)

11. Novembertag  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Kalter Herbst vermag den Tag zu knebeln,
seine tausend Jubelstimmen schweigen;
hoch vom Domturm wimmern gar so eigen
Sterbeglocken in Novembernebeln.

Auf den nassen Dächern liegt verschlafen
weißes Dunstlicht; und mit kalten Händen
greift der Sturm in des Kamines Wänden
eines Totenkarmens Schlußoktaven.
