Traumleben
 (Sung text for setting by J. Lang)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Noch kaum erwacht vom Träumen, --
Das Träumen kam von dir,--
Geh ich hier unter Bäumen,
Dein Bild geht neben mir.
 
Die Bäume dunkel schatten
Und wölben sich zum Dach;
Ein seliges Ermatten
Schleicht hier dem Wandrer nach.
 
Wie neue Traumesdecke
Zieht's nun sich sanft um mich,
Und, wenn ich leis erschrecke,
So sprang ein Lied auf dich.
