Chapters Autumn Day, come along,
Early acts entertained
Taking a seat, you bring,
Quickly, your piece grows loud
Something unique holds sway
Clear, your full essence rings
Forth bursts a final bout.
Then all those viewers who
Up the hills winds the way
Breath moves reluctantly,
Up and away you fly,
Then, as you slow your pace,
Here you are, home at last.
Neighbourly nods bequeath
Everywhere, chatter stirs,
There it is, finally.
Sleep and then fetch your bow,
Melodies resonate,
Later by just two days,
Now you intend to play
Royals will be there, and,
More comes to you, who had.
You begin growing rich,
You obtain wealth and weal
Many things come your way,
Though not a thing comes free,
Though you could glean no clues,
Dazedly stand and walk,
Wind whistles breezily,
Yesterday's dull ideas
After the first night falls,
Just as the morrow dawns,
Next, the third day begins.
When the third night descends,
Now that you wrote all night,
Perfect notes, perfect modes,
Frothing seas
Passing waves
Seasons change,
Turn your two

This was inspired by "O du lieber Augustin" ("O you dear Augustin"). It can be sung to the same tune.
Turn around, swiftly go,
Bumblebees, unaware,
Relish forgetfulness,
Spots of shade form a fray,
Birdsongs ring to and fro,
Clear as in youth, you see
