by Friedrich von Sallet (1812 - 1843)

Herbstlied
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Durch die Wälder streif' ich munter,
Wenn der Wind die Stämme rüttelt
Und mit Rascheln bunt und [bunter]1
Blatt auf Blatt herunterschüttelt.

Denn es träumt bei solchem [Klange]2
[Sich]3 gar schön [vom]4 Frühlingshauche,
Von der Nachtigall Gesange
Und vom jungen Grün am Strauche.

Lustig schreit' ich durchs Gefilde,
Wo verdorrte Diesteln nicken;
Denk' an Maienröslein milde
Mit den morgenfrischen Blicken.

Nach dem Himmel schau' ich gerne,
Wenn ihn Wolken schwarz bedecken;
Denk' an tausend liebe Sterne,
Die dahinter sich verstecken.
