This is a small part of a poem: "Wir traumen vom Morgen, doch das
Morgen lasst auf sich warten". It might be by a german author but it
might alo be a translation from the original language.

-Whats the name of the author and poem?
-Where can I find it?
-If posible, include the poem in the answer. :-)

Hello isak-ga,

This poem appears, in German, on the following page:

"....think about life and dreams!" [scroll to the final passage of the
right-hand column of the page]
Ein Haufen Zeugs...
http://members.aon.at/anne/life.htm

It begins, "Wir träumen vom Morgen", which means "We are dreaming of
tomorrow" (or "We dream of tomorrow").

A search for "we are dreaming of tomorrow" makes it clear that the
German poem is a translation of a poem read in the movie Dead Poets
Society by the character Todd Anderson.  The poem is apparently found
both in the original screenplay by Tom Schulman and in the
novelization by N. H. Kleinbaum.

You can read the poem on the following two pages.  (Because of
possible copyright concerns, I think that it is better for me to give
links to the poem, rather than to reprint it here.)

"Last Minute Changes: Dead Poets Society the Movie vs. Dead Poets
Society the Script" [scroll about 3/4 of the way down the page]
Crazy Dave's Peter Weir Cave
http://www10.pair.com/crazydv/weir/dps/comparison.html

"Dead Poets Society - Group 5: Anna, Fie, Sophie, and Nadira - Chapter
13 p. 142-147 - synopsis"
Andet - Engelsk - X_2002 
Langkær Gymnasium & HF
http://www.langkaer.dk/data_proj_2002/x_2002/EN/andet/ch13synopsis.doc

The poem does not appear to have a name.

I hope that this information is helpful.
