Von schön Sicilien war mein Traum
Language: German (Deutsch)
Von schön Sicilien war mein Traum, in Blüthen strahlt der Hag! Wir sassen unter'm Citronenbaum und kosten Tag für Tag. Erwachend umgab mich des Nordens Land, ein einsam Grab lag dort am Meer, der Sturmwind rüttelt das Epheuband das einst ich geflochten lange her!
