by Julius Rodenberg (1831 - 1914)

Auf dem grünen Meerfeld blühen in Pracht
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Auf dem grünen Meerfeld blühen in Pracht 
  Des Morgens sonnige Rosen, 
Und über die träumende Fläche sacht 
  Spielende Lüfte kosen. 
Ich sehe den Glanz und ich höre den Gruß, 
Doch gefangen das Herz und gefesselt der Fuß --
Mich trägt kein Boot und kein Nachen von hier 
In das Land der Rosen, zu Dir, zu Dir! 

Du träumst nun im Grünen, duftig umlaubt 
  Von Deiner rauschenden Linde;
Um Dein liebes Herz, um Dein liebes Haupt 
  Fächeln die Morgenwinde. 
Deine Berge liegen so klar und hell, 
Durch die grünen Wiesen murmelt der Quell;
Doch mich trägt kein Boot und kein Nachen von hier 
In das Land der Rosen, zu Dir, zu Dir!
