by Agnes Henri Marteau (flourished c1905)

"Herbst"
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Gebräuntes Gold hängt an den Bäumen 
Leuchtend wie fürstlich Geschmied 
letzte Sonne schwebt über den Träumen 
lächelnd im Abschiedsleid.

Herbstes Nebel flatternd umkleiden 
der Blumen bunte Glut
Leise sinken sie dann im Scheiden 
dahin wo es wunschlos sich ruht.

Wenn meinem Herzen schwinden sollte 
der Liebestrahlender Pein
Mit all den Blumen ich schlafen wollte 
träumen von Sonnenschein.

Dankbar noch das mir war gegeben 
der süssesten Blume Duft
Deren Licht einen Schein von Leben 
noch wirft in die dunkelste Gruft.
