Language: German (Deutsch)
Sie geht in aller Frühe, noch eh die Dämmrung schwand, den Weg zur Tagesmühe im ärmlichen Gewand. Die dunklen Nebel feuchten noch in der Straße dicht, sonst sähe man beleuchten ein Lächeln ihr Gesicht. Die Götter mögen wissen, warum sie heimlich lacht -- es weiß es nur das Kissen, was ihr geträumt heut nacht.

Language: English
Before the morning breaketh, In homely garb arrayed Her daily path she taketh Where toil and duty wait, Damp mists of night still hover O'er dark deserted place Else many could discover The smile upon her face; The gods might if they chose it Divine her secret bright, Her pillow only knows it, On which she slept last night.

Language: German (Deutsch)
Müder Glanz der Sonne! Blasses Himmelblau! Von verklungner Wonne Träumet still die Au. An der letzten Rose Löset lebenssatt Sich das letzte lose, Bleiche Blumenblatt. Goldenes Entfärben Schleicht sich durch den Hain; Auch Vergehn'n und Sterben Däucht mir süß zu sein.

3. Autumnal Feeling
Language: English
Weary glow of the sun! Pallid blue of the sky! The meadow is quietly dreaming Of joy that has faded away. From the last rose, Sated with life, The last, loose, pale Flower petal detaches itself. A golden fading Creeps through the grove; It seems to me that even Dissolution and dying may be sweet.

Language: German (Deutsch)
Schwebe, Mond, im tiefen Blau Über [Berg und Höhn]1, [Sprudle Wasser]2, blinke Thau! Nacht, wie bist du schön! Spiegle See den reinen Strahl! Friedeathmend lind Durch das wiesenhelle Thal Walle, weicher Wind! Wie durch einen Zauberschlag Bin ich umgestimmt Von Gedanken, die der Tag Bringt und wieder nimmt. Daß es auch ein Sterben gibt, Fühl ich ohne Schmerz, Was ich liebe, was mich liebt, Geht mir still durchs Herz.

Language: English
Sail, fair moon, through heaven's blue, Over mountain height Sparkle wavelet twinkle dew! Beauteous art thou night. Mirrored on thy bosom, sea Hold the peaceful ray While across the snow white lea, Zephyrs lightly play. 'Tis as tho' some magic pow'r Banished at this hour Thoughts and fancies that the day brings and takes away, And I feel that death must be Yet I cannot grieve, What I love and what loves me In my heart doth live.
