by Moritz Hartmann (1821 - 1872)

Und kommst du nicht am Tage
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Und kommst du nicht [am]1 Tage,
So komm im Traum [zu mir]2;
Gewiß, gewiß, ich sage
Dir tausend Dank dafür.

Komm immer so wie heute,
Da ich entschlummert [kaum]3,
Wie holdes Brautgeläute
Erklang mein ganzer Traum.

Wohl sind noch meine Lider,
Wie ich erwache, feucht --
Doch komme immer wieder:
Vor Glück weint' ich vielleicht.

Ich fleh' es wie mit Kosen
Der Nachtigall Gebet
Vom jungen Frühling Rosen
In kalter Nacht erfleht.

O, komm mit aller Plage,
Die du mir schon gebracht,
Und kommst du nicht am Tage,
So komm im Traum der Nacht.
