Language: German (Deutsch)
Wenn ich auf dem Lager liege In Nacht [und Kissen]1 gehüllt, So schwebt mir vor ein süßes, Anmutig liebes Bild! Wenn mir der stille Schlummer Geschlossen die Augen kaum, So schleicht [das Bild sich leise]2 Hinein in meinen Traum [Doch]3 mit dem Traum des Morgens Zerrinnt es nimmermehr; Dann trag' ich es im Herzen Den ganzen Tag umher.

1. When I lie on the bed
Language: English
When I lie on the bed, shrouded in night and cushions, So floats before me a sweet, lovely dear image. When silent slumber has barely closed my eyes, So creeps the image quietly into my dream. And in the morning it never fades away with the dream: Then I carry it about with me in my heart the whole day.
