Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE SPA

Wenn ich auf dem Lager liege
In Nacht  ...  gehüllt,
So schwebt mir vor ein süßes,
Anmutig liebes Bild!

Wenn mir der stille Schlummer
Geschlossen die Augen kaum,
So schleicht das Bild sich leise
Hinein in meinen Traum

Doch mit dem Traum des Morgens
Zerrinnt es nimmermehr;
Dann trag' ich es im Herzen
Den ganzen Tag umher.

Avondlied

(Sung text translation for setting by F. Mendelssohn)

See original

Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the German (Deutsch)

Lig ik op mijn bed te rusten,
In nacht  gehuld,
Dan zweeft mij voor een lieflijk,
Aanvallig, dierbaar beeld!
 
Heeft net de stille sluimer
Gesloten mijn ogen, loom,
Dan sluipt het beeld heel zachtjes
Naar binnen in mijn droom!
 
Maar met de ochtenddromen
Gaat nooit dat beeld te grond':
Dan draag ik in mijn hart het
De hele dag nog rond.
