Herbstnebel wallen bläulich überm See; Vom Reif bezogen stehen alle Gräser; Man meint', ein Künstler habe Staub vom Jade Über die feinen Blüten ausgestreut. Der süße Duft der Blumen is verflogen; Ein kalter Wind beugt ihre Stengel nieder. Bald werden die verwelkten, goldnen Blätter Der Lotosblüten auf dem Wasser ziehn. Mein Herz ist müde. Meine kleine Lampe Erlosch mit Knistern; es gemahnt mich an den Schlaf. Ich komm zu dir, traute Ruhestätte! Ja, gib mir Ruh, ich hab Erquickung not! Ich weine viel in meinen Einsamkeiten. Der Herbst in meinem Herzen währt zu lange. Sonne der Liebe, willst du nie mehr scheinen, Um meine bittern Tränen mild aufzutrocknen?

La nebbia autunnale vaga azzurra sul lago E l'erba è ricoperta di brina; Come se un artista avesse cosparso Polvere di giada sulle tenere piante. E' svanito il dolce aroma dei fiori; un freddo vento piega i loro steli. Presto,appassiti, i petali d'oro del loto Vagheranno galleggiando sull'acqua. Stanco è il mio cuore. La mia piccola luce Si è spenta crepitando; è tempo di dormire. E io vengo a te, fedele rifugio di pace! Sì, dammi pace, ho bisogno di conforto! Io piango spesso nella mia solitudine. Troppo indugia l'autunno nel mio cuore. Sole dell'amore, non vuoi più risplendere, per asciugare delicatamente le mie lacrime amare?
