Our translations: ENG
Kennst Du den grünen Strand, Der an dem See Schatten der Trümmerwand Weckt tiefes Weh? Da ist mein Vaterland Das mich verstiess. Wo ich die Liebe fand Die ich verliess. Tief in der oeden Brust Wohnt Einsamkeit Die sich des Leids bewusst Nimmer befreit! Sehnsucht, Erinnrungsweh Verschliesst das Grab -- Denk ich an jenen See Zieht mich's hinab.
