by Richard Pohl (1826 - 1896)

Letzter Traum
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Lieder der Kindheit, 
Freundliche Klänge, 
Ziehen durch meine 
Zagende Brust; 
Tönen wie ferner
Heimath Gesänge, 
Flüstern von Tagen
Schuldloser Lust. 

Singende Engel 
Schweben hernieder, 
Leuchtende Sonnen 
Ziehen von fern, 
Liebe Gestalten 
Winken mir wieder, 
Einmal noch glänzet mein 
Sinkender Stern. 

Ruhlosen Lebens 
Düstre Gewalten 
Trübten den Himmel 
Engten den Raum  --  
Weiter, nur weiter 
Zieht, ihr Gestalten! 
Naht mir noch einmal  --  im
Letzten Traum! 

Confirmed with Richard Pohl, Gedichte, Weimar: Landes-Industrie-Comptoir, 1859. Appears in Wanderbuch, pages 92 - 93.
