Es wird schon kühl, es wird schon spat,
Es ist schon Herbst geworden
In Schwesters Garten, still und stad;

Ein Amselruf verirrt und spat,
Es ist schon Herbst geworden
In Schwesters Garten still und stad;
Ein Engel ist geworden.

Jardin de la sœur
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Le froid tombe, il se fait tard
L'automne est déjà là
Dans le jardin silencieux de la sœur ;
Son pas est devenu blanc.
Un cri de merle perdu et tardif
L'automne est déjà là
Dans le jardin silencieux de la sœur ;
Un ange est né.
