Les sanglots longs
Des violons
   De l'automne
Blessent mon cœur
D'une langueur
   Monotone.

Tout suffocant
Et blême, quand
   Sonne l'heure,
Je me souviens
Des jours anciens
   Et je pleure ;

Et je m'en vais
Au vent mauvais
   Qui m'emporte
Deçà, delà,
Pareil à la
   Feuille morte.

Herbst

Language: German (Deutsch) after the French (Français)

Wie Geigenklang
so schluchzend bang
des Herbstes Nah'n,
ein dumpfer Schmerz
durchbohrt mein Herz
und Grabeswahn.

Die Wangen fahl,
erstickt die Qual,
von Tod umgraut
denk' ich der Zeit
so schön und weit
und weine laut.

Es reißt geschwind
ein rauher Wind
mich von hier fort;
bald sink' ich matt,
ein müdes Blatt,
verwelkt, verdorrt!
