Und alles blüht ringsum und alles lacht,
Nur meine Flügel blieben mir geschlossen,
Doch hinterm Stacheldraht die Maienpracht
Blüht auch für mich, drum harr' ich aus entschlossen!

Folded wings
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
And everything blooms all around and everything laughs,
Only my wings remain folded,
Yet, behind the barbed wire the glory of May
Blooms for me as well, therefore I abide resolutely!
