by Wilhelm Jensen (1837 - 1911)

Herbstesgruß
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Herbstesgruß --
Die Blätter fallen; 
Flatternd umwallen 
Am Weg sie den Fuß.
Vergilbt und alt;
Mein Herz ist weh --
Es rauscht durch den Wald:
Komm bald, komm bald --
Ade. --

Über's Meer 
Entflieh'n wie Vögel 
Weißliche Segel.
Das Ufer ist leer.
In müdem Lauf 
Rollt dumpf die See;
Sie murmelt herauf: 
Brich aus, brich aus, --
Ade. --
 
Alles hin,
Woran gehängt sich,
Fröhlich gedrängt sich
Im Frühling der Sinn.
Verwelkt, verdorrt;
Mein Herz ist weh --
Trüb klingt sein Wort:
Zieh fort, zieh fort --
Ade.
