Summer is gone with all its roses
Language: English
Summer is gone with all its roses,
Its sun and perfumes and sweet flowers,
Its warm air and refreshing showers:
And even Autumn closes.
Yea, Autumn's chilly self is going,
And winter comes which is yet colder;
Each day the hoar-frost waxes bolder
And the last buds cease blowing.

Süße weicht Bitternis
Language: German (Deutsch) after the English
Sommer und Rosen sind entschwunden,
mit süßen, sonnentrunk'nen Düften,
mit frischem Nass und warmen Lüften:
gar Herbstes letzte Stunden.
Selbst er empfindet Unbehagen,
wenn Winter naht, des Frostes Meister,
täglich erscheint der Rauhreif dreister,
und letzte Knospen zagen.
