Autumn (Rondeau)

Autumn (Rondeau)

Raging winds and dancing leaves
tousle the branches of all the trees.
The hedgehog searches for another last worm,
a lonely deer shivers in the autumns storm,
and even the last bird flees.

Sleeping are all the tiny bees
on the river a first ice flow does freeze.
In a cobweb a little spider is born
Autumn is the time of premonition.

The days are caressed by a last warm breeze.
before the winter sun at horizon thrieves.
The hamster hoards a lately found corn,
a hunter blows after shooting the horn.
Autumn is the time of premonition.
