A dream
Language: English
I thought this heart [enkindled]1 lay On Cupid's burning shrine: I thought he stole thy heart away, And placed it near to mine. I saw thy heart begin to melt, Like ice before the sun; Till both a glow congenial felt, And mingled into one!

Ein Traum
Language: German (Deutsch) after the English
Ich träumt' mein Herz in Flammen läg' Auf Amors Gluthaltar, Ich träumt' er stahl dein Herzchen weg, Legt's hin wo meines war. Dein Herz zu schmelzen dann begann, Wie Eis im Sonnenschein, Bis eines in das andre rann Zum ewigen Verein!
