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.
