Der Traum, Op. 146 No. 3 by Robert Schumann — Lyrics
Im schönsten Garten wallten
zwei Buhlen Hnad in Hand,
zwei bleiche kranke Gestalten,
sie sassen im Blumenland.
Sie küssten sich auf die Wangen,
sie küssten sich auf den Mund,

About Der Traum, Op. 146 No. 3
Robert Schumann's Der Traum, Op. 146 No. 3, is a secular partsong for SATB choir. Originally composed in German, this edition provides an English translation of the lyrics. The text recounts a dream of healing and reunion, where two lovers, initially frail and ill, find renewed health through their embrace. However, the dream abruptly ends, revealing the harsh reality of their separation: one confined to a convent cell and the other imprisoned. The setting contrasts the idyllic dreamscape with the starkness of their actual circumstances, offering a poignant exploration of love, longing, and separation.
