Dream, dream, my sweet life,
of the heaven that brings flowers.
Shimmering there are blossoms that shiver
to the song that your mother is singing.
Dream, dream, bud of my worries,
of the day the flower bloomed;
of the bright morning of blossoming,
when your little soul opened up to the world.
Dream, dream, blossom of my love,
of the quiet, of the holy night
when the flower of his love
made this world a heaven for me.

Richard Dehmel in 1905.
Richard Fedor Leopold Dehmel (born November 18, 1863 in Wendisch-Hermsdorf, Mark Brandenburg; died February 8, 1920 in Blankenese, now part of Hamburg) was a German poet and writer.
Life
Dehmel, son of a forester, finished school in 1882 in Berlin and studied natural sciences, economy and philosophy at the university. He finished his studies 1887 in Leipzig and started a bread-and-butter job at an underwriting association.
In 1889, he married Paula Oppenheimer. He became active as a writer, and was co-founder of the PAN magazine in 1894. Later, he quit this job and earned money as a writer. His poetic volume Weib und Welt (Woman and world) became a scandal and was published only with some parts censored.
In 1899, he divorced Paula and traveled through Europe, together with Ida Auerbach, whom he married in 1901, and settled in Hamburg the same year. At the beginning of World War I, Dehmel volunteered and served until 1916, when he was wounded. He called to the Germans to keep fighting right until 1918. Dehmel died in 1920 of the injury he suffered during the war.
Literary work
Dehmel is considered one of the foremost German poets of the pre-World War I era. His poems were set to music by composers like Richard Strauss, Max Reger, Arnold Schönberg and Kurt Weill, or inspired them to write music. Dehmels main theme was "love and sex (Eros)", which he conventionalized as a power to break free from middle class bounds.

A little about myself: I live in Ottawa (Canada), where I work as a programmer. I grew up in a musical family (the four of us often played string quartets for fun when we were all living in one house), and I still play the violin with great pleasure (entirely nonprofessionally), with semi-regular piano trios and sometimes string quartets.
In 1995, while working on my MSc. at McGill in computer science, I created The Lied and Art Song Texts Page, a free web archive of texts and translations to Lieder and other art songs. Ive started adding choral texts, madrigals and partsongs, making the title a bit inaccurate, but oh well.
On August 21st, 2004, there were suddenly four of us. Photos of the new baby, Talia, are here, as well as photos of Aladara, her proud big sister.
