Ich hab die Nacht geträumet
Language: German (Deutsch)
Ich hab [die]1 Nacht geträumet Wohl einen schweren Traum; Es wuchs in meinem Garten Ein [Rosmarinenbaum]2. Ein Kirchhof war der Garten, Ein Blumenbeet das Grab, Und von [dem grünen Baume]3 Fiel Kron' und Blüte ab. Die Blüten tät ich sammeln In einen goldenen Krug; Der fiel mir aus den Händen, Daß er in [Stücke zerschlug]4. D'raus sah ich Perlen rinnen Und Tröpflein rosenrot. Was mag der Traum bedeuten? Ach Liebster, bist du tot?
