Träumen im Winter
 (Sung text for setting by J. Rheinberger)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Ich träumte, Du wärst bei mir;
   Ich hegte Dich still im' Herzen;
Von all' meinen Wonnen Dir
   Erzählt' ich und meinen Schmerzen.

Du hieltest mich bei der Hand
   In seligem Liebeskosen,
Und draußen erblüht' das Land
   Im Schmucke der Maienrosen.

Als ich mich erwachend fand,
   Noch trunken von Deinem Scherzen:
Wie öd' der Winter im Land',
   Wie öd' der Winter im Herzen!
Note: the poet was a good friend of Rheinberger's wife and must have given him a copy of the poem before it was published.
