Mir träumt', ich ruhte wieder
Language: German (Deutsch)
Mir träumt', ich ruhte wieder Vor meines Vaters Haus Und schaute fröhlich nieder Ins alte Thal hinaus, Die Luft mit lindem Spielen Ging durch das Frühlingslaub, Und Blütenflocken fielen Mir über Brust und Haupt. Als ich erwacht, da schimmert Der Mond vom Waldesrand, Im falben Scheine flimmert Um mich ein fremdes Land, Und wie ich ringsher sehe: Die Flocken waren Eis, Die Gegend war vom Schnee, Mein Haar vom Alter weiß.

I dreamt, I rested once again
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
I dreamt, I rested once again In front of my father’s house And gazed happily down Into the old valley. With a gentle playing the breeze Wafted through the spring greenery, And blossom petals fell down like snowflakes Upon my breast and head. When I awoke, the moon Was shimmering along the rim of the forest, In the pale light there flickered About me a foreign land, And I see about me: The flakes were of ice, The countryside was of snow, My hair was white with age.
