Analysis of Sister's Garden

Georg Trakl 1887 (Salzburg) – 1914 (Kraków)



It's already cool, it's already late,

It's already autumn

In sister's garden, silent and still;

Her step has turned white.

A blackbird call lost and late,

It's already autumn

In sister's garden, silent and still;

An angel became.
