Hermann Hesse (1877-1962)
Autograph manuscript illustrated with a small watercolour flower of his poem 'September', n.d.
Title and three four-line verses on one page, 215 x 138mm, illustrated by the author with a small watercolour flower below the text. Provenance: Sotheby's, 29 & 30 June 1982, lot 175.

Autograph transcript of one of Hesse's best-known poems. This sensuous evocation of a rain-drenched garden at summer's end, written in 1927, has frequently been set to music, mostly famously in 1948 as one of Richard Strauss' Four Last Songs.

Der Garten trauert,
Kühl sinkt in die Blumen der Regen.
Der Sommer schauert
Still seinem Ende entgegen.

Golden tropft Blatt um Blatt
Nieder vom hohen Akazienbaum.
Sommer lächelt erstaunt und matt
In den sterbenden Gartentraum.

Lange noch bei den Rosen
Bleibt er stehen, sehnt sich nach Ruh.
Langsam tut er die großen
Müdgewordnen Augen zu.
