Heine, "Ich hab im Traum geweinet"

A work ("I had a dream in which I cried") by this German poet. You can read the original here.
I had a dream in which I cried:
You lay unmoving in a tomb;
I woke to find my pain subside,
My cheeks still wet in tearful flume.
I had a dream in which I cried:
You left me in cold solitude;
I woke to drown in my woe's tide,
My hours lost to bitter brood.
I had a dream in which I cried:
You were still true and good and mine;
I woke to find no truth denied,
And tears aflow for all of time.
