Seliges Traumbild wo ist dein Weilen?
Nahmst du den Flug zum Himmel empor,
Gleich einem Falter, der sich erkor
Wehende Luft zu seinem Verweilen?
Leuchtender Engel meines Lebens,
Traum meiner Jugend flüchtig und schön!
Bist hier im Tal des Schmerzes zu sehen
Weilst unter Sternen du, Ziel meines Strebens?
Hast du entsagt dem Leben, betrübt,
O lasse im Traum die Kunde mir geben,
Daß ich verlass' die Welt und das Leben
Fliegend zu dir, die heiß ich geliebt!

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.
