by Johann Gustav Droysen (1808 - 1884) and sometimes misattributed to Heinrich Heine (1797 - 1856)
Language: German (Deutsch)
In weite Fernen will ich träumen, Da, wo Du weilst! Wo aus den schneeig hellen Räumen Die Bäche in die Seen schäumen! Da, wo Du weilst! Will mit Dir durch die Berge streifen, Da, wo Du weilst. Wo auf dem Eisfeld Gemsen schweifen, Im warmen Tale Feigen reifen! Da, wo Du weilst! Und heimlich will ich weiter denken, Wenn Du heimkehrst! Es mag die Zeit mich nicht betrüben, Wir sind dieselben noch geblieben! Wenn Du heimkehrst!
