My heart is crushed   It´s lying there and growing cold   Summer´s sunset falls   Sunlight flees away   and dews of night arise      Rainy autumn moves my heart   Flowers welking welk my joy      Clouds come rolling over   they depress me, overrun me   They overshadow my heart   Autumn comes apace,   a last warm glance sighing to me   Now grey vails between the earth and sea      Birdless branches in the wind   Leaves they found their death in coldness   Naked trees in the frost of night   yearning for the sun again and again      Waters laying still in transparent fog   Lakes of blue covered with ice   to sleep their winter-sleep
