by Otto Julius Bierbaum (1865 - 1910)

Ach, was sah ich im Traum
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ach, was sah ich im Traum: 
Du hast die Hand mir gegeben, 
und stumm sprach mir dein Mund:
ja, ich fühle wie du. 

Tief im Walde geschah's; 
es sangen um uns die Vögel,
Sonne küsste das Moos 
und deinen seidenen Schuh. 

Nahe warst du mir so, 
daß deinen Atem ich fühlte,
und ich sah dir in's Aug, 
und ich weinte vor Glück. 

Mädchen, was mir der Tag 
an Kümmernissen mag bringen,
lächelnd denk ich des Traums,
selig denk ich an dich.
