Noch kaum erwacht [von]1 Träumen, -- Das Träumen kam von dir,-- Geh ich hier unter Bäumen, Dein Bild geht neben mir. Die Bäume dunkel schatten Und wölben sich zum Dach; Ein seliges Ermatten Schleicht hier dem [Wandler]2 nach. Wie neue Traumesdecke Zieht's nun sich sanft um mich, Und, wenn ich leis erschrecke, So sprang ein Lied auf dich.
