by Karl Stieler (1842 - 1885)

Im Traume
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ich hab' das Haupt zurückgebogen.
Wo bin ich? Ringsum ist es Nacht. 
Mir ist, als wär' ich ausgezogen
Zum Kreuzzug mit des Kaisers Macht.

Lieg' ich auf eines Zeltes Decken? 
Lieg' ich an einer Barke Kiel? 
Sind das des Sandmeers öde Strecken? 
Ist das des Weltmeers brandend Spiel?

Wo bin ich? Irr und sturmzerbrochen 
Trägt es mich weiter Nacht und Tag, 
Und mordend fühl' ich drinnen pochen
Des Fiebers heißen Hammerschlag!
