Wiederkehrend nach dem Vaterlande,
Hofft' ich deine Lilienhand zu drücken,
Traut're Bande
Würden uns, so hofft' ich, dann beglücken,
Wiederkehrend nach dem Vaterlande!
Wehe mir, du bist vorangegangen
Nach viel besser'm Vaterlande, o Teure!
Welch Verlangen,
Daß auch ich bald meinen Nachen steu're
Nach viel besser'm Vaterland, o Teure!

At Lake Constance II
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
In returning to the homeland,
I had hoped to press your lily-white hand;
Closer ties,
I hoped, would then delight us,
In returning to the homeland.
Woe is me, you preceded me
To a much better homeland, oh my treasured one!
What longing
That I too shall soon steer my craft
To a much better homeland, oh my treasured one!
