Herbstgefühl

Fetter grüne, du Laub,
Am Rebengeländer
Hier [mein Fenster herauf!]1
Gedrängter quellet,
Zwillingsbeeren, und reifet
Schneller und glänzend [voller]2!
Euch brütet der Mutter Sonne
Scheideblick, euch umsäuselt
Des holden Himmels
Fruchtende Fülle;
Euch kühlet des Mondes
Freundlicher Zauberhauch,
Und euch betauen, ach!
Aus diesen Augen
Der ewig belebenden Liebe
Voll schwellende Tränen.

by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832) , "Herbstgefühl", 1775
