Noch eine Stunde laßt mich hier verweilen im Sonnenschein, mit Blumen Lust und Gram des Lebens teilen im Sonnenschein! Der Frühling kam und schrieb auf Rosenblättern ein Traumgedicht vom Paradies, ich las die goldnen Zeilen im Sonnenschein. Der Sommer kam, das Ird'sche zu verzehren mit Himmelsbrand, ich sah die Ros' erliegen seinen Pfeilen im Sonnenschein. Es kam der Herbst, das Leben heimzuholen; ich sah ihn nahn, und mit der Ros' in seiner Hand enteilen im Sonnenschein. Seid mir gegrüßt, ihr Bilder all des Lebens! Die hier ich sah um mich verweilen, mir vorübereilen im Sonnenschein. Seid mir gegrüßt, ihr Wanderer des Lebens! Die ohne mich und die mit mir gewandert einige Weilen im Sonnenschein. Zurück ich blick' und seh' die Blumentäler so leicht durchwallt, und selbst den Berg, einst schwer erstiegen, steilen im Sonnenschein. Ich geh', die süße Müdigkeit des Lebens nun auszuruhn, die Lust, den Gram der Erde nun auszuheilen im Sonnenschein.

Let me tarry here one more hour in the sunshine, sharing the pleasure and sadness of life with the flowers in the sunshine! Spring came and wrote on the rosepetals a dreamy poem about Paradise; I read the golden lines in the sunshine. Summer came to consume the earth with divine fire, and I saw the roses drooping their stems in the sunshine. Autumn came to call home life; I saw it approach and hurry away with roses in its hand in the sunshine. I greet you, shapes of life! The ones I saw here tarrying about me, hurry past in the sunshine. I greet you, travelers of life! - those who wandered without me and those who wandered with me for a little while in the sunshine. I look back and see the blooming valleys undulating so lightly, and the mountain that I once scaled with such difficulty, sheer in the sunshine. I go now; let the sweet weariness of life rest now, and let the pleasure and sadness of the earth heal now in the sunshine.
