Blüht denn hier an Tauris Strande [Keine Blum' aus Hellas Lande, Weht kein milder Segenshauch]1 Aus den [lieblichen]2 Gefilden, Wo Geschwister mit mir spielten? - Ach, mein Leben ist ein Rauch! Trauernd wank' ich [durch die]3 Haine, - Keine Hoffnung nähr' ich - keine, Meine Heimath zu erseh'n; - Und die See mit hohen Wellen, Die an Klippen [kalt]4 zerschellen, Übertäubt mein leises Fleh'n. Göttin, [welche]5 mich gerettet, An die Wildnis [mich gekettet]6, - Rette mich zum zweitenmal; - Gnädig lasse mich den Meinen, Laß' o Göttinn! mich erscheinen In des großen Königs Saal!

Bloeit dan hier aan Tauris' stranden Niet één bloem uit Hellas' landen? Waait geen troostend briesje ook Uit de zegenrijke beemden...1 Waar mijn zusjes met mij speelden? Ach, mijn leven is slechts rook! Treurend dwaal ik door de wouden -- 'k Heb geen enk'le hoop behouden Dat 'k naar huis nog oversteek -- En het oorverdovend klotsen Van de zee hier op de rotsen Overstemt mijn zacht gesmeek. O godin, die mij gered hebt, In de wildernis gezet hebt, Red mij nu een tweede maal; Laat genadig mij de mijnen, Laat, godin, mij weer verschijnen Bij de koning in de zaal!
1 Schubert: "Uit mijn vaders lieve landen / Niet één bloempje? Waait er ook / Zelfs geen briesje uit de beemden..."
