Träumen im Winter
Language: German (Deutsch)
Ich träumte, Du wärst bei mir,
Ich hegte Dich still im Herzen;
Von all' meinen Wonnen Dir
Erzählt' ich und meinen Schmerzen.
Du hieltest mich bei der Hand
In seligem Liebeskosen,
Und draußen [blühte]1 das Land
Im Schmucke der Maienrosen.
[Als ich, erwachend, mich fand]2,
Noch trunken von Deinem Scherzen:
Wie öd' der Winter im Land',
Wie öd' der Winter im Herzen!

Dreaming in winter
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
I dreamt you were with me,
I harboured you quietly in my heart;
I told you of all my joys
And of all my pains.
You took me by the hand
In blissful, loving caressing,
And outdoors the land [bloomed]1
In the adornment of the May-roses.
When [I, awakening, found myself]2
Still drunken from your jesting:
How desolate was the winter in the land,
How desolate the winter in my heart!
