Erinnerung
Language:
German
Kein Rosenschimmer leuchtet dem Tag zur Ruh!
Der Abendnebel schwillt am Gestad empor,
Wo durch verdorrte Felsengräser
Sterbender Lüfte Gesäusel wandelt.
Nicht schwermutsvoller bebte des Herbstes Weh'n
Durch's tote Gras am sinkenden Rasenmal,
Wo meines Jugendlieblings Asche
Unter den trauernden Weiden schlummert.
Ihm Tränen opfern werd' ich beim Blätterfall,
Ihm, wenn das Mailaub wieder den Hain umrauscht,
Bis mir, vom schönern Stern, die Erde
Freundlich im Reigen der Welten schimmert.

Remembrance
Language:
English
No rosy gleam shines the day to rest!
Evening mists surge upon the shore
where, among dried-up rock grass,
the whispers of dying breezes waft.
Autumn's wind did not shake with more melancholy
through the dead grass on the sinking turf
where the ashes of my youthful beloved
slumbered under the weeping willows.
To him I will offer tears when the leaves begin to fall -
to him, when May's foliage again rustles in the grove;
until, from a fairer star, the earth
glimmers kindly in the dance of worlds.
