by Albert Sergel (1876 - 1946)

Untreu
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Was ich geträumt, und wenn es Wahrheit wär, 
      dass du gestorben: 
      ewig lebtest du in mir 
   und hättest eine süsse Seligkeit erworben . . .

      Nun lebst du noch, 
   und ist ein Frühling um dich her,
   und alle Blüten blühen dir . .

   Und eine jede sagt dir doch, 
      dass du gestorben . .
   und dass in alle Ewigkeit
   nun deines Herzens Seligkeit
      verdorrt, verdorben . . . 

Confirmed with Sehnen und Suchen, Vierte Auflage, Rostock: C.J.E. Volckmann (Volckman & Wetter), 1905, page 43.
