Traumlicht
 (Sung text for setting by C. Loewe)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT ENG FRE
Ein Licht im Traum 
Hat mich besucht, 
Es nahte kaum, 
da nahm's die Flucht.

Der Blick ist tief
Hier eingesenkt,
Den, als ich schlief,
Du mir geschenkt.

Hell dämmert mild 
Am Tage wach,
O Nachtgebild,
Dein Glanz mir nach.

Komm oft, O Stern,
In meiner Ruh!
Dir schließ' ich gern
Die Augen zu.
