Seliges Traumbild
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Romanian (Română) 
Choose for Diff
Seliges Traumbild wo ist dein Weilen?
Nahmst du den Flug zum Himmel empor,
Gleich einem Falter, der sich erkor
Wehende Luft zu seinem Verweilen?
Seliger Engel ach! meines Lebens,
Traum meiner Jugend flüchtig und schön!
Bist auf dem Ball des Schmerzes zu seh'n
Bist unter Sternen Ziel meines Strebens?
Hast du entsagt dem Leben, betrübt,
Laße davon die Kunde mir geben,
Daß ich verlasse die Welt und das Leben
Fliegend zu dir, die heiß ich geliebt!

Confirmed with Romanische Poeten in ihren originalen Formen und metrisch übersetzt von Ludwig Adolf Staufe, Wien, 1865.

Note: for some reason Giżycka-Zamoyska's score attributes the text only to "Demeter", which is the Germanified first name of the author Dimitrie Bolintineanu, whose Romanian poem was translated into German by Ludwig Adolf Staufe.
