B e l o v e d
The day changes to night
Behind your window,
My beloved...
Rain sows the coolness
Silvery wetness on the pavement
Fallen leaves strew
The countryside with gold.
The autumn garden slumbers
Waiting for the spring.
Night swaddles the house
Now I am alone with you
My beloved...
A sound hangs in the silence
All guests have departed
Walking home in small groups
Glasses stand emptied
An aroma of flowers lingers
We have each other
And no words are needed.
Bright rays of light
Disturb your sleep
My beloved...
Even the Autumn thunder
Loudly proclaims a love
A love it does not wish to hide
Rain is washing the window
Thin rivers of water pouring from the roof
You sleep so quietly
After yesterday's meeting.
The morning rushes into the house
And you have awakened
My beloved...
Your features light and sweet
As you give me a sleepy smile
To carry always in my memory
Fallen leaves strew
The countryside with gold.
The winds sweep across the road
As the gardener burns the leaves......
