by Ricarda Octavia Huch (1864 - 1947)

Wie liebten wir so treu in jenen Tagen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  FRE
Wie liebten wir so treu in jenen Tagen,
Fest wie die Sonne stand das Herz uns da.
Getrennt, wie hatten wir uns viel zu sagen,
Und sagten stets nur eines: Liebst du? Ja!
0 Liebe, kannst du wie ein Traum der Nächte
Vorübergehn, die du unendlich scheinst?
Mir ist, als ob er fernher mein gedächte
Und fragte: Liebst du mich? Sag ja wie einst!
