by Emil Peschkau (1856 - 1930)

Herbsttag
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Durch Wolken zittert 
Ein [Sonnenstrahl]1 
Und leuchtet schüchtern 
In's dunkle Thal.

Die Blumen lächeln -- 
Zu spät, zu spät! 
Durch welke Blätter 
Der Herbstwind weht.

Nur ein Erinnern, 
Wie schön es einst! ...
Du gehst vorüber 
Betrübt und weinst.
