Es grüsset dich aus fernem Land Manch' heimathlicher Stern, Er traget über's weite Meer Gedanken aus der Fern'. Die Flammenschrift, wir lesen sie gemeinsam jede Nacht, und jedes Herz des andern denkt auf seiner stillen Wacht! Der Zeichen tief empfund'ner Sinn, Wir können ihn versteh'n, Und meine Nähe fühlest du, Das weiss ich, ungeseh'n!

They greet you from a distant land, Many a star from home; carried across the wide ocean come thoughts from afar. We read this script of flames together every night and each heart thinks of the other at one's silent watch. The signal of deeply-felt meaning - we can understand it; and you feel I am near - this I know, without seeing!
