Im Herbst by Carl Friedrich Zöllner — Lyrics
1. Holder Lenz, du bist dahin,
nirgends, nirgends darfst du bleiben!
Wo ich sah dein frohes Blüh'n,
braust des Herbstes banges Treiben.
2. Wie der Wind so traurig fuhr
durch den Strauch, als ob er weine!
Sterbeseufzer der Natur
schauern durch die welken Haine.

About Im Herbst
As summer fades and autumn arrives, Carl Friedrich Zöllner’s Im Herbst captures the season’s contemplative mood. This setting for TTBB male chorus, in German, explores the passage of time and the melancholic beauty of nature’s decline. The text reflects on the transient nature of spring and summer, contrasting it with the gusty winds and wilting foliage of autumn. Yet, it finds a sense of renewal in the cyclical nature of the seasons, where the rustling forest brings both emotion and the promise of new growth with each passing year, echoing the enduring hope that accompanies nature’s transformations.
