Es wird schon kühl, es wird schon spat,
Es ist schon Herbst geworden
In Schwesters Garten, still und stad;

Ein Engel ist geworden.

Sister's garden (first version)
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
It's already cool, it's already late,
already fall has come
to sister's garden, still and calm;
Her step has turnèd white.
A blackbird calling, lost and late,
already fall has come
to sister's garden, still and calm;
an angel has become.
