Nicht im Tale der süßen Heimat,
Beim Gemurmel der Silberquelle -
Bleich getragen aus dem Schlachtfeld
Denk' ich dein, du süßes Leben!

All die Freunde sind gefallen,
Sollt' ich weilen hier der eine?
Nein! schon naht der bleiche Bote,
Der mich leitet zur süßen Heimat.

Aan Anna II

(Sung text translation for setting by R. Schumann)

See original

Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the German (Deutsch)

Niet in 't bergdal waar eens mijn wieg stond,
Bij 't gemurmel van zilveren bronnen --
Bleek gedragen van het slagveld
Denk ik aan jou, o heerlijk leven!

Alle vrienden zijn gevallen,
Zou ik blijven hier als enige?
Neen! Reeds komt de bleke bode,
Die mij wegleidt naar 't heerlijk thuisland.
