Lied im Herbst
 (Sung text for setting by J. Fischhof)

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE ITA
Die Schwalben ziehn,
Nicht länger darf ich weilen,
Zum Süden muß ich eilen,
Zur Wärme hin.

Die Sonne sinkt;
Soll Leben nicht versinken,
Muß ich die Wärme trinken,
Der Süden winkt.

Wo Sonne glüht,
Sie immerwährend scheinet,
Sich Lenz mit Herbst vereinet,
Wo's ewig blüht;

Dahin! dahin
Muß ich! darf hier nicht weilen,
Muß in den Süden eilen;
Die Schwalben fliehn.
