MIR TRAUMTE WIEDER DER ALTE TRAUM, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: The old dream comes again to me
Last Line: Superfluous was the bite.
Subject(s): Dreams; Hearts; Love; Nightmares


THE old dream comes again to me:
With May-night stars above,
We two sat under the linden-tree
And swore eternal love.

Again and again we plighted troth,
We chattered, and laughed, and kissed;
To make me well remember my oath
You gave me a bite in the wrist.

O darling with the eyes serene,
And with the teeth so white!
The vows were proper to the scene,
Superfluous was the bite.
