by August Emil Leopold, Herzog von Sachsen-Gotha-Althenburg

Kennst du das Thal, der Vorzeit...
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Kennst du das Thal, der Vorzeit Zauberspiegel,
Wo ewig Unschulds - Lilien blüh'n? 
Es ist des Traumes Geisterland. 

Kennst du das Thal  -- es glänzt in Phöbos Strahlen  -- 
Wo üppig Cypris Rosen glüh'n?
Es ist des Traumes Geisterland. 

Kennst du das Thal, umstrahlt vom Zukunftsterne,
Wo singend jede Welle rollt? 
Es ist des Traumes Räthselland.
