by Christoph August Tiedge (1752 - 1841)

Mir auch war ein Leben aufgegangen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Mir auch war ein Leben aufgegangen,
Welches reich bekränzte Tage bot;
An der Hoffnung jugendlichen Wangen
Blühte noch das erste, zarte Rot;
Auf der Gegenwart umrauschten Wogen
Brannt' ein Morgen, schön, wie Opferglut;
Hohe Traumgestalten zogen
Stolz, wie Schwäne, durch die rote Flut;
Leichte Stunden rannen schnell und schneller
An dem halberwachten Träumer hin,
Und die Gegend lag schon hell und heller,
Nur auch wüster, da vor meinem Sinn.
