Über die kahlen Bäume Ziehn Nebelstreifen hin. Stehe am Fenster und träume, Weiß nicht, woaus, wohin. Liegen die dunkelnden Dächer Trauernd, ach, Grab am Grab. Fallen die Tropfen im Becher Welkender Blätter ab. Frühling wollte nicht bleiben, Herbst kam allzu geschwind. An den erblindeten Scheiben Rüttelt Novemberwind.
