We wandered

Brahms, Johannes

We wandered together, the two of us,

I was so quiet and you so still,

I would give much to know

What you were thinking at that moment.

What I was thinking, let it remain unuttered!

Only one thing will I say:

So lovely was all that I thought -

So heavenly and fine was it all.

The thoughts in my head

Rang like little golden bells:

So marvellously sweet and lovely

That in the world there is no other echo.
