I wonder if...
I wonder if you really send
Those dreams of you
That come and go.
I'd like to say she thought of me
And I have known it. Is ist so?
Though other friends walk be your side
Yet sometimes it must surely be
The wonder where your thoughts have gone
Because I have you here with me.
And when the busy day is done
And work is ended, voices cease,
When everyone has said goodnight
In fading firelight, then in peace
I idly rest: you come to me.
Your dear love holds me close to you
If I could see you face to face
It would not be more sweet and true.
I do not hear the words you speak
Nor touch your hands, nor see your eyes,
Yet far away the flowers may grow
From whence to me the fragrance flies.
And so across the empty miles
Light from my star shines. Is it, dear,
Your love has never gone away?
I said farewell and - kept you here.
