When I, enraptured by precious kisses.<br />

Rest in thine arms for briefest season.<br />

Of Germany thou must not ask me,<br />

I cannot bear it—there is a reason!<br />

Leave Germany in peace, I do beseech thee.<br />

Vex not with endless questions my poor spirit<br />

Concerning home, friends, social, kind relations.<br />

There is a reason why I cannot bear it.<br />

The oak-tree there is green, the German women<br />

Have soft blue eyes—tender they are and fair.<br />

They whisper sighs of hope and truth and passion.<br />

I have good cause—'tis more than I can bear.<br />
