by Peter Cornelius (1824 - 1874)

Ich ging hinaus, um dich zu seh'n
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT
Ich ging hinaus, um dich zu seh'n;
ich sah den Äther hell und rein 
und wundergolden Sonnenschein...
Dich aber sah ich nicht.

Ich ging hinaus, um dich zu seh'n;
da sah ich weithin Blumen blüh'n
im Schmelz der bunten Farbenglüh'n...
dich aber sah ich nicht.

Doch als ich wieder kehrte heim,
war mir das Herz so voll von Duft
und Sonnenschein und Himmelsluft
als hätt' ich dich geseh'n.
