I arise from dreams of thee
In the first sweet sleep of night,
When the winds are breathing low,
And the stars are shining bright.
I arise from dreams of thee,
And a spirit in my feet
Hath led me, who knows how?
To thy chamber window, Sweet!
The wandering airs they faint
On the dark, the silent stream-
The lavanda odours fail
Like sweet thoughts in a dream;
The nightingale´s complaint,
It dies upon her heart;
As I must on thine,
Oh, beloved as thou art!...
Oh lift me from the grass!
I die! I faint! I fail!
Let thy love in kisses rain
On my lips and eyelids pale.
My cheek is cold and white, alas!
My heart beats loud and fast;
Oh, press it to thine own again,
Where it will break at last.
