by Friedrich Rückert (1788 - 1866)

Ich lag von sanftem Traum umflossen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ich lag von sanftem Traum umflossen,
Und fühlte selig mich in dir.
Als ich die Augen aufgeschlossen,
Da hingst du lächelnd über mir.

Wie gerne mag dein Traum zerstieben,
Von deinem Kuß hinweg geflößt,
Wie hast du schön dich selbst vertrieben,
Wie schön dich selbst hier abgelöst!
