Reverie
Caspar David Friedrich - Abtei im eichwald (entre 1809 e 1810)
In the most faraway, I can see,
It’s summer… warmth of raining…
And like a heart under the sea
I watch sorrowful drops singing;
Inside my soul, a hollow glows,
Writing mournful poetry
Like the sun rising far below
Whispering the wind airy;
If it’s only a melancholic dream
Or if just another world it seems,
I merely feel like a dossal, dreary,
Falling over my own mistake,
Watching over my dismal lake
Where I threw me so aweary.
