Dies sind die letzten Tage mir im Jahr: Die Astern blühen in den Beeten, Die Luft ist kirchenstill und blau und klar Und ganz erfüllt vom Dufte der Reseden. Kein Vogelschlag durchdringt den Sonnenschein Doch unablässig zirpen die Zikaden, -- Bei ihrem Singen geh' ich einmal ein Nach langen Jahren zu des Himmels Gnaden.
