by Paul Heyse (1830 - 1914)

Mir träumte von einem Myrtenbaum
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE
Mir träumte von einem Myrtenbaum,
So blühenden hab' ich nie geseh'n.
Die Nacht die ist vergangen,
Der Traum will nicht vergehn.

Was soll mir nun mein Sträußlein bunt,
Was soll mir nun der Veilchenkranz?
Ich wollt', es wären Myrten,
Da führt' er mich zum Tanz.

Zur Kirchen und hernach zum Tanz,
Der Himmel wär' mir aufgethan!
O Liebster, holder Liebster,
Wie lange steht's noch an?
