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
