Der Abend graut, Herbstfeuer brennen. Über den Stoppeln geht der Rauch entzwei. Kaum ist mein Weg noch zu erkennen. Bald kommt die Nacht; ich muß mich trennen. Ein Käfer surrt an meinem Ohr vorbei. Vorbei.

De avond grauwt, herfstvuren branden. Boven de stopp'len gaat de rook uiteen. Haast is mijn weg niet meer te kennen. Gauw komt de nacht; ik moet vertrekken. Een kever snort vlak langs mijn oor voorbij. Voorbij.
