One wish alone have I In some calm land beside the sea to die
Upon its strand That I forever sleep The forest near, a heaven near Stretched over the peaceful deepWhile softly rings The wind it's trembling chime And over me the lime In blossem flings
As I will then no more a wanderer be Let them with fondness store my memory
And Lucifer the while Above the pine, good comrade mine
Will on me gently smile? In mournful mood The sea sing sad refrain... And I be earth again In solitude
Im In solitude
In solitude
That no one weeps my end Nor for me grieves But let the autumn lend Tongues to the leaves
No candles shine Nor tomb I need, instead Let them for me a bed Or twigs entwine
When brooklet ripples fall With murmuring sound And moon is found Among the pine trees tall
Im In solitude
In solitude
