Nun ist's vollbracht: Des Herbstes Fäden weben 
Die Zauberschleier über's kahle Feld,
Den Kranichzug seh' ich gen Süden schweben,
Der Wald wie Gold! Wie traumesstill die Welt!

Wie traumesschön! -- Ist schön nicht Vollenthüllung,
Des ewig jungen Lebens Ziel und Sein?
Ja, du bist schön, o Herbst, du beut'st Erfüllung,
Fest blick ich dir in Aug' und Herz hinein.
