A dream

I thought this heart [enkindled]1 lay
On Cupid's burning shrine:
I thought he stole thy heart away,
And placed it near to mine.

I saw thy heart begin to melt,
Like ice before the sun;
Till both a glow congenial felt,
And mingled into one!

by Thomas Moore (1779-1852) , "A dream", from The Poetical Works of the late Thomas Little, Esq., published 1801

Ein Traum

Ich träumt' mein Herz in Flammen läg'
Auf Amors Gluthaltar,
Ich träumt' er stahl dein Herzchen weg,
Legt's hin wo meines war.

Dein Herz zu schmelzen dann begann,
Wie Eis im Sonnenschein,
Bis eines in das andre Rann
Zum ewigen Verein!
