Heut beschlichen mich die Träume, Da es heller Mittag war. Durch des Waldes junge Bäume Flog's wie Duft von deinem Haar. Leise klang ein holdes Lachen, Wie nur deine Lippe lacht, Wenn des Morgenrots Erwachen Deine Seele fröhlich macht. Ja, mir war's, als ob mich träfe Deines Auges stiller Geist Und ein Kuß an meiner Schläfe, Wie nur du zu küssen weißt.

Aujourd'hui s'est glissé en moi le rêve Que c'était par un lumineux midi. Parmi les jeunes arbres de la forêt Flottait comme le parfum de ta chevelure. Un rire gracieux résonna doucement, Comme seules tes lèvres rient, Comme le fait joyeusement ton âme À l'éveil de l'aurore,. Oui c'était pour moi, comme si me touchaient L'âme sereine de tes yeux Et un baiser sur ma tempe, Comme seule toi sait embrasser.
