Sommerduft

Die Nacht ist dunkel.
Trüb und trüber flimmern die Sterne,
die so hell einst glühten.
Ein süßer Duft lebt nur und weht herüber:
der Duft von Pflaumenblüten.

by Paul Alfred Enderling (1880-1938)

Summer's fragrance

The night is gloomy.
Dull and duller waxes the starlight,
Which was late so glowing.
A luscious scent now alone lives and lingers:
The scent of plumtrees blowing.
