by Karl Stieler (1842 - 1885)

Was ist mir denn geschehen?
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE
[Was]1 ist mir denn geschehen?
Bin ich vom Traum erwacht? -- --
Wie meine Augen sehen!
O, wie der Mund mir lacht!

Als hätt's noch nie gegeben
So lichtes Himmelsblau;
Auf meinem ganzen Leben
Liegt es wie Morgenthau.

Und in dem tiefsten Innern,
Da rieselt's wie ein Quell
[Von]2 Hoffen und Erinnern --
Wie schön ist das, wie hell!

O gold'ne Feierstunde! -- --
O komm, du heißer Mann,
Und küß' mir still vom Munde,
Was ich nicht sagen kann!
