by Friedrich Heinrich Oser (1820 - 1891)

O Kindheitstraum!
Language: German (Deutsch) 
  O Kindheitstraum, du schöner Traum
Am fernen grünen Ufersaum! 
Wie eines Kirchleins Frühgeläut 
Ziehst du mir durch die Seele heut; 
Wie erster Veilchenduft so hold, 
So licht wie Frühlingsmorgengold! 

  O Kindheitstraum, du schöner Traum, 
Fern unterm weißen Blüthenbaum! 
Wie ein verwehend Scheidelied 
Der Hauch an mir vorüberzieht: 
Wann lachst mit allem Duft und Glanz, 
O Traum, du einst mir wieder ganz?

Confirmed with Liederbuch von Friedrich Oser, 1842-1874. Mit einem biographischen Verzeichnis der Componisten, Basel: Benno Schwabe, Verlagsbuchhandlung, 1875, page 264.
