Gekommen ist der [Maye]1, Die Blumen und Bäume blühn, Und durch [die Himmelsbläue]2 Die [rosigen]3 Wolken ziehn. Die [Nachtigallen]4 singen Herab aus [der laubigen]5 Höh, Die weißen Lämmer springen Im weichen grünen Klee. [Ich kann nicht singen und springen]6, Ich liege krank im Gras; Ich höre fernes Klingen, Mir träumt, ich weiß nicht was.

2. Allnächtlich im Traume seh' ich dich  [sung text not yet checked]
Allnächtlich im Traume seh' ich dich Und sehe dich freundlich grüßen, Und laut aufweinend stürz' ich mich Zu deinen süßen Füßen. Du [siehst]1 mich an wehmütiglich Und schüttelst das blonde Köpfchen; Aus deinen Augen [schleichen sich Die Perlentränentröpfchen]2. Du [sagst]3 mir heimlich ein leises Wort Und gibst mir den Strauß von Zypressen. Ich wache auf, und der Strauß ist fort, [Und das]4 Wort hab' ich vergessen.

3. Ich hab' im Traum geweinet  [sung text not yet checked]
Ich hab' im [Traum]1 geweinet, Mir träumte, du lägest im Grab. Ich wachte auf, und die Träne Floß noch von der Wange herab. Ich hab' im [Traum]1 geweinet, Mir träumt', du verließest mich.

4. Dein Angesicht  [sung text not yet checked]
Dein Angesicht so lieb und schön, Das hab' ich jüngst im Traum gesehn, Es ist so mild und engelgleich, Und doch so bleich, so [schmerzenbleich]1. Und nur die Lippen, die sind rot; Bald aber küßt sie bleich der Tod. Erlöschen wird das Himmelslicht, Das aus den frommen Augen bricht.

6. Der Tod, das ist die kühle Nacht  [sung text not yet checked]
Der Tod, das ist die kühle Nacht, Das Leben ist der schwüle Tag. Es dunkelt schon, mich schläfert, Der Tag hat mich müd gemacht. Über mein Bett erhebt sich ein Baum, Drin singt die junge Nachtigall; Sie singt von lauter Liebe - Ich hör es sogar im Traum.

Ich hatte einst ein schönes Vaterland. Der Eichenbaum Wuchs dort so hoch, die Veilchen nickten sanft. Es war ein Traum. Das küßte mich auf deutsch, und sprach auf deutsch (Man glaubt es kaum, Wie gut es klang) das Wort: "ich liebe dich!" Es war ein Traum.
