by Nikolaus Lenau (1802 - 1850)

Herbstgefühl
 (Sung text for setting by L. Schlegel)
 Matches original text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  FRE
Mürrisch braust der Eichenwald,
Aller Himmel ist umzogen,
Und dem Wandrer, rauh und kalt,
Kommt der Herbstwind nachgeflogen.

Wie der Wind zu Herbsteszeit
Mordend hinsaust in den Wäldern,
Weht mir die Vergangenheit
Von des Glückes Stoppelfeldern.

An den Bäumen, welk und matt,
Schwebt des Laubes letzte Neige,
Niedertaumelt Blatt auf Blatt
Und verhüllt die Waldessteige;

Immer dichter fällt es, will
Mir den Reisepfad verderben,
Daß ich lieber halte still,
Gleich am Orte hier zu sterben.
