(Amerikanische Fassung 1845)
Übersetzung: William B. Bradbury (1816–1868) oder C. W. Sanders
Melodie: Johann Friedrich Reichardt (1752–1814)
| Autumnal song. | ||
Music arranged, and words translated from the | ||
| German, for this work. | ||
| 1. | Now the leaves are faded, | |
| Fields with cold pervaded, | ||
| Wear a palid hue; | ||
| Chilly breezes blowing, | ||
| Icy streamlets flowing, | ||
| Winter's signs renew. | ||
| 2. | Yet there's much to cheer us, | |
| Though the winter's near us, | ||
| When the Autumn comes; | ||
| Herbs of sweetest savor, | ||
| Fruits of finest flavor, | ||
| Apples, peaches, plums. | ||
| 3. | Corn o'erspreads the valleys | |
| Grapes the garden alleys – | ||
| Yes, and luscious pears, | ||
| Tinged with golden yellow, | ||
| Juicy, rich, and mellow, | ||
| Many a hill-top bears. | ||
| 4. | Lengthen'd evening bringing | |
| Times for glee and singing, | ||
| Autumn bids us smile; | ||
| Calls to social meeting, | ||
| Bids us, pleasure greeting, | ||
| All our woes beguile. | ||
| 5. | Yes, we gladly hail thee, | |
| Cheers shall oft regale thee, | ||
| Autumn, fount of joy! | ||
| Pleasures various, waking, | ||
| Now shall, loudly breaking, | ||
| Swell without alloy. | ||
