by Hugo Oelbermann (1832 - 1888)

O träume nur ‑‑ so lang' dir noch
Language: German (Deutsch) 
O träume nur  --  so lang' dir noch
Die Jugendtage Morgen mait!  
O singe nur  --  so lang' dir noch
Das Herz so jung, das Herz so weit! 
Ja träume nur!  und senk' im Traum
Dich in die Welt der Märe ein  -- 
Es wird so bald, es wird so bald
Der Jugend Traum zerronnen sein! 

Ja singe nur!  -- o laß ein Lied
Aufblühn mit jedem Morgen neu,
Und sorge, daß kein Tag verglüht . . . . .
Der nicht zur Lust dir worden sei! 
Was dich bewegt, was dich entzückt  -- 
O jauchz'  es in die Welt hinein! 
Es wird so bald, es wird so bald
Der Jugend Lied verklungen sein!
