by Max Jähns (1837 - 1900)

Grauer Herbsttag; tiefe Stille
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Grauer Herbsttag; tiefe Stille --
Weite, dichte Nebelhülle
Lagert ringsumher.
Überall wohnt düst'res Schweigen
Und in blätterlosen Zweigen
Rauscht der Wind nicht mehr! --

Grauer Herbsttag; tiefe Stille --
Meiner Seele Sehnsuchtsfülle
Lastet stumm und schwer. --
Ruhe jetzt! Nach Lust und Kummer
Naht dir nun der Winterschlummer -
Sträube dich nicht mehr! -- 

Grauer Herbsttag; tiefe Stille --
Duft'ger Träume Zauberhülle 
Webe um dich her! 
Laß die Welt in Stürmen tosen;
Schwimme du im gränzenlosen.
Dunklen Schlummer-Meer. --
