by Anna (Nuhn) Ritter (1865 - 1921)

Des Apfelbaumes Frühlingstraum
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE
Sieh, nun schmückt mit tausend Blüthen
Sich vorm Haus der Apfelbaum,
Selbst sein müdes altes Herze
Träumt noch einen Frühlingstraum.

Und ich selber, jung und blühend,
Sollte ohne Wünsche sein?
Nein, auch meine Augen träumen
Sehnend in den Lenz hinein.

Confirmed with Anna Ritter, Gedichte, Neunte Auflage, Stuttgart und Berlin: J.G. Cotta'sche Buchhandlung Nachfolger, 1900, page 166.
