Robin Adair
Language: German (Deutsch) after the English
Gruß Dir am Heimathstrand, Robin Adair! Heil Dir im Heimathland, Robin Adair! Glücklich dem Meer entschwebt? O wie die Hand Dir bebt, Thräne im Aug' Dir webt, Robin Adair! All die Zeit, wo Du fern, Robin Adair! Fleht' ich für Dich zum Herrn, Robin Adair! Seit mir Dein Blick entwich, Mancher wohl freit' um mich, Doch ich dacht nur an Dich, Robin Adair! Schlägt noch für mich Dein Herz, Robin Adair! Aus ist der Trennungsschmerz, Robin Adair! Ist noch Dein Herze mein, Soll mich kein Andrer frei'n, Sprech ich: auf ewig Dein, Robin Adair!
Confirmed with Lyrisches Album aus dem Lahngan, herausgegeben von Dr. Paul Wigand, Gießen, J. Ricker'sche Buchhandlung, 1858, pages 101-102. Note: this poem translates the final three stanzas of the original English.
