Der Abend graut, Herbstfeuer brennen. Über den Stoppeln geht der Rauch entzwei. Kaum ist mein Weg noch zu erkennen. Bald kommt die Nacht; ich muß mich trennen. Ein Käfer surrt an meinem Ohr vorbei. Vorbei.

The evening grows gray, autumn fires burn. Over the stubble, smoke floats in two columns. My path is hardly recognizable. Soon night will come; I must leave. A beetle flits murmuring past my ear. Past.
