In the arms of love we fell blissfully asleep

Max Reger

In the arms of love we fell blissfully asleep;

at the open window the summer wind listened

and carried the peacefulness of our breath

out into the bright, moonlit night.

And out of the garden, feeling its way randomly,

the scent of roses came to our bed of love

and gave us wonderful dreams,

dreams of intoxication, rich with yearning.
