by Helene Raff (1865 - 1942), as Helge Heldt
Da Cypern erobert war
Language: German (Deutsch)
Endlich nun, nach langen Mühen leuchtet uns des Sieges Glück, wir gewannen dich zurück, schöne Insel, deren Blühen, einst so reich, vor kurzem noch welkte unter'm Heidenjoch. Heit'res Kind der blauen Wellen, bleibe unser immerdar. Mag der Türken freche Schar stets an deinem Strand zerschellen. Ungefährdet sei hinfort uns'res Glaubens schöner Hort.
