by Helene Luise Elisabeth zu Mecklenburg-Schwerin, Prinzessin (1814 - 1858)

Seyd mir gegrüßt, ihr lachenden Hügel
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Seyd mir gegrüßt, ihr lachenden Hügel
Herrlich gekrönt mit grünendem Laub;
Mild umweht von Zephyr's Flügel
Werdet ihr keines Sturmes Raub!

Sey mir gegrüßt, o ruhiges Meer,
Brandende Wogen am einsamen Strand,
Spiegel dem nächtlichen Sternenheer.
Sey mir gegrüßt mein Jugendland!

Theure Bilder verflossener Freuden,
Verschwunden sind sie nach kurzem Spiel;
Möge der Schmerz vom irdischen Scheiden
Wenden das Auge zum seligen Ziel!
