TRANSLATION.
[Where shall one all travel-weary]
Where shall one all travel-weary
Courting rest at last recline?
In the South beneath the palm tree?
Under lindens by the Rhine?
Courting rest at last recline?
In the South beneath the palm tree?
Under lindens by the Rhine?
Shall it be upon the desert
Covered by a stranger's hand,
Or on billows undulating
Far from any Christian land?
Covered by a stranger's hand,
Or on billows undulating
Far from any Christian land?
Onwards ever—Heaven hanging
Shrouds above me, there and here;
While for torches, stars at midnight
Overhead are burning clear.
Shrouds above me, there and here;
While for torches, stars at midnight
Overhead are burning clear.
