21. O Alter Duft (O Ancient Fragrance)
O alter Duft aus Märchenzeit,
Berauschest wieder meine Sinne;
Ein närrisch Heer von Schelmerein
Durchschwirrt die leichte Luft.
Ein glückhaft Wünschen macht mich froh
Nach Freuden, die ich lang verachtet:
O alter Duft aus Märchenzeit,
Berauschest wieder mich!
All meinen Unmut gab ich preis;
Aus meinem sonnumrahmten Fenster
Beschau ich frei die liebe Welt
Und träum hinaus in selge Weiten . . .
O alter Duft - aus Märchenzeit!
O old perfume from fabled times,
Ravish again my senses!
A crazy swarm of vagaries
Buzzes through the easy air.
A happy impulse brings me to
Those joys I've long looked down on:
O old perfume from fabled times
Ravish me again
All my ill humor I let slide,
Out my sun-framed window
I see the clear and lovely world
And dream beyond for blissful stretches . . .
O old perfume--from fabled times!
