Available translations (or transliterations, if applicable): 


Wenn ich auf dem Lager liege
in Nacht [und Kissen]1 gehüllt,
So schwebt mir vor ein süßes,
anmutig liebes Bild!

Wenn mir der stille Schlummer
geschlossen die Augen kaum,
So schleicht das liebe Bild
hinein in meinen Traum!

[Und]2 mit dem Traum des Morgens
zerrinnt es nimmermehr:
Dann trag' ich es im Herzen
den ganzen Tag umher.
