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 deep      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      While 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
