 " Traum durch die Dämmerung " is in two stanzas , each comprising five lines . The first line , literally : " Wide meadows in twilight grey " , was translated by Richard Stokes as " Broad meadows in grey dusk " . The first line rhymes with lines 3 and 4 , in both stanzas on " dark " vowels , <unk> and Land , with line 4 repeating line 1 . Line 2 rhymes with line 5 on a light vowel , <unk> and Licht . The term Dämmergrau , a combination of Dämmerung ( twilight ) and <unk> ( grey ) , repeated four times ( in lines 1 and 4 ) contrasts with the final word Licht ( light ) . The third line of the poem describes the walk to meet the woman in first person , after detailing meadows , twilight , the sun and the stars : Nun geh ich zu der <unk> Frau ( Now I go to the most beautiful woman ) . The subject notes that he is not in a rush : Ich gehe nicht schnell ( I do not go fast ) . She is not described , but their relationship imagined as a <unk> , <unk> Band ( soft , velvety band ) , drawing him to der Liebe Land ( the love land ) , reaching a state of <unk> <unk> Licht ( mild blue light ) .
