Märchen

In deiner lieben Nähe
Bin ich so glücklich. Ich mein',
Ich müßte wieder der wilde,
Selige Knabe sein.

Das macht deiner süßen Jugend
Sonniger Frühlingshauch.
Ich hab dich so lieb. Und draußen
Blühen die Rosen ja auch.

O Traum der goldenen Tage!
Herz, es war einmal.
Abendwolken wandern
Über mein Jugendthal.
