by Luise Elisabeth Bertha Koch (1875 - 1966), as Maidy Koch

Ich hab' mir ein Märchen erdacht
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Ich hab' mir ein Märchen erdacht
Aus einem einzigen Blick
Und eine einzige Nacht
Verwehte all mein Glück . . . 

[Ich träumte den seligsten]1 Traum
Von Liebe, die nimmer vergeht . . .
Ein Hauch -- ich fühlte ihn kaum --
Da war er schon verweht.
