Am Tage denk' ich still an Dich, Und träume Nachts von Dir, Und keine Seele raubt den Traum Und die Gedanken mir. Sie [liegen]1 ja so innig fest Verwahrt in meiner Brust, Die keinen Hauch verlieren will [All ihrer]2 Qual und Lust. Und bist Du noch so ewig weit Und noch so fern von mir: In meinem Traum bei Tag und Nacht Bin ich ja doch bei Dir!

During the day I think quietly of you, And at night I dream of you, And no one robs me of the dream And of the thoughts. For they [lie]1 so fervently and firmly Enshrined in my breast That does not want to lose a breath Of all their agony and joy! And even though you are so eternally distant And though so far from me: In my dreams by day and by night I am nevertheless with you!
