Blüht denn hier an Tauris Strande Aus dem theuren Vaterlande Keine Blume, weht kein Hauch Aus den seligen Gefilden, Wo Geschwister mit mir spielten? - Ach, mein Leben ist ein Rauch! Trauernd wank' ich in dem Haine, - Keine Hoffnung nähr' ich - keine, Meine Heimath zu erseh'n; - Und die See mit hohen Wellen, Die an Klippen sich zerschellen, Übertäubt mein leises Fleh'n. Göttin, die du mich gerettet, An die Wildnis angekettet, - Rette mich zum zweitenmal; - Gnädig lasse mich den Meinen, Laß' o Göttinn! mich erscheinen In des großen Königs Saal!
Note: Schubert received Mayrhofer's texts generally in handwriting; the printed edition of Mayrhofer's poems appeared much later and presents the texts usually in a revised version.

Bloeit dan hier aan Tauris' stranden Niet één bloem uit Hellas' landen? Waait geen troostend briesje ook Uit de zegenrijke beemden... Uit mijn vaders lieve landen Niet één bloempje? Waait er ook Zelfs geen briesje uit de beemden... 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!
