Confirmed with Joseph Freiherrn von Eichendorff's sämmtliche Werke. Zweite Auflage. Erster Band. Leipzig, Voigt & Günther. 1864, page 578. Note: in some later editions, a poem titled "Herbstweh" uses this poem as its first stanza and Es schüttelt die welken Blätter der Wald as the second stanza. This may be the text used by Killmayer and Kornauth.
