by Georg von Hauenschild (1825 - 1855), as Max Waldau

Ich wollt', ich könnte noch träumen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ich [wollt']1, ich könnte noch träumen
Wie einst von Liebe und Lust,
Da blühten die alten Lieder
Auch schimmernd in meiner Brust.

Die alten, die süßen Lieder,
Ich würde sie noch verstehn; -
Ich [wollt']1, ich könnte noch träumen,
Nie würd' ich einsam gehn.
