by Christian Morgenstern (1871 - 1914)

O traure nicht
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  FRE
Aus roten Morgenwolken blüht, 
der blaue Tag in blasser Seligkeit ... 
Und über Raum und Zeit 
erhebt sich mein Gemüt
zu dir. 

O traure nicht! 
Und bist du nicht bei mir -:
Ein Licht sind wir 
und ist von mir zu dir. 

Aus roten Morgenwolken blüht 
der blaue Tag in blasser Seligkeit ... 
Und über Raum und Zeit 
erhebt sich dein Gemüt
zu mir.
