by Friedrich von Sallet (1812 - 1843)

Herbstlied
 (Sung text for setting by H. Pfitzner)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Durch die Wälder streif' ich munter,
Wenn der Wind die Stämme rüttelt
Und mit Rascheln bunt und munter
Blatt auf Blatt herunterschüttelt.

Denn es träumt bei solchem Gange
Sich's gar schön von 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.
