by Franz Evers (1871 - 1947)

Das Traumland
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Im weichen Lilapurpur
liegt fern ein Traumesland:
blaudunkel glühn die Wellen,
und golden ist ihr Strand.
Cypressenwälder wiegen
im Wind ihr Nadellaub
und in den Lüften liegen
Maiglück und Sonnenstaub.

Die himmelhohen Kuppeln
der [ewigen]1 Berge schaun
in Scharlachschnee der Frühe
hin auf die gold'nen Gaun:
Das Glück, das Glück umschmiegt uns,
wir sind vom Schmerz befreit --
und unsre Seele wiegt uns
in blaue Ewigkeit...
