by Helene Raff (1865 - 1942), as Helge Heldt

Unter den Palmen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Palmen wiegen, leicht sich biegen 
über heißem Wüstensand. 
Liebesschwingen leis' mich bringen 
hin zum fernen Heimatland. 

Mag entzückend, mag berückend 
mich des Ostens Pracht umwehen, 
dennoch werde, teure Erde, 
jubelnd ich dich wiedersehen. 

Dein auch denk' ich, Tränen schenk' ich 
dir zumeist, von der ich schied, 
ferne Süße, die ich grüße, 
bis im Wind verhallt mein Lied. 

Holde Treue, stets aufs Neue 
steht vor mir dein Bildnis hehr, 
deinetwillen nie zu stillen 
ist mein Wunsch der Wiederkehr.
