Herbst

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG FRE

Astern blühen schon im Garten,
Schwächer trifft der Sonnenpfeil.
Blumen, die den Tod erwarten
Durch des Frostes Henkerbeil.

Brauner dunkelt längst die Haide,
Blätter zittern durch die Luft.
Und es liegen Wald und Weide
Unbewegt in blauem Duft.

Pfirsich an der Gartenmauer,
Kranich auf der Winterflucht.
Herbstes Freuden, Herbstes Trauer,
Welke Rosen, reife Frucht.

Confirmed with Detlev von Liliencron, Adjutantenritte, Zweite Auflage, Berlin, Schuster & Loeffler, 1896, page 75.
