Die Flur umher Es kalt durchweht, Wo [nirgend]1 mehr Ein Blümlein steht. Im Wald zerstiebt Das welke Laub -- Die ich geliebt, Sind alle Staub. [Sich]2 frühe neigt Der Sonne Lauf, Am Himmel steigt Der Mond herauf. Es füllt sich sacht Das Sternenzelt. Sie sind erwacht In jener Welt.
Confirmed with Martin Greif, Neue Lieder und Mären, Leipzig: C.F. Amelangs Verlag, 1902, page 86.

It blows coldly through The meadow round about, Where not one little flower Stands any longer. In the forest the withered Foliage is scattered -- Those whom I loved Are all dust. The sun's pathway Leads downward [early]1, Upon the heavens The moon rises. The canopy of the stars Fills itself gently. They have awakened In that other world.
