Der Traum
Language: German (Deutsch)
Im schönsten Garten wallten Zwei Buhlen Hand in Hand, Zwo bleiche kranke Gestalten, Sie sassen in's Blumenland. Sie küßten sich auf die Wangen, Sie küßten sich auf den Mund, Sie hielten sich fest umfangen, Sie wurden jung und gesund. Zwei Glöcklein klangen helle, Der Traum entschwand zur Stund'; Sie lag in der Klosterzelle, Er fern in Thurmes Grund.

The dream
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
In the most beautiful of gardens there wandered Two lovers hand in hand, Two pale, sick figures, They sat in the flowery landscape. They kissed each other's cheeks, They kissed each other's lips, They held each other tightly, They became young and healthy. Two little bells rang out brightly, The dream vanished immediately; She lay in the cell of a nunnery, He far away in a deep dungeon.
