Ein Traum (A Dream)

I once had a beautiful dream:
My love was a fair-haired young woman,

we were in a green forest glade,
it was warm spring weather,

the buds were sprouting, the brook was running strong, the sounds of the distant village could be heard, we were full of joy,
immersed in bliss.

And even more beautiful than the dream
was what occurred in reality:
it was in a green forest glade
it was warm spring weather,

the buds were sprouting, the brook was running strong, the sounds of the distant village reached our ears -- I held you tight, I held you long, and now will never again let you go!
Oh the spring-green glade
is alive in me for all time!
That is where reality became a dream
and the dream became reality!
