Love
Vision
Translated by Frank C. Nicholson (1907) · From Old German Love Songs (1907)
Love
In my dream I saw clear,
All night till morning broke,
A lady passing fair:
Thereafter I awoke.
Then was she ta'en from me, alas!
Nor knew I where was she
From whom my bliss should come to pass.
'Twas mine eyes worked this woe on me
And blind I fain would be!
