On Wings of Song
by Heinrich Heine
On wings of
song I will bear you,
My heart’s
love, I will bear you away
Away to the
fields of the Ganges
where I
know the most beautiful place.
There lies
a red flowering garden
in the
silent light of the moon
the lotus
flowers are a-wai-ting
their
little sister, so dear.
The violets
giggle and cuddle
and look
for the stars up above.
The secretly
whispering roses,
they tell
of their sweet fairy tales.
They skip
past and quietly listen,
the pious
and gentle gazelles
and far in the
distance the murmuring
of the
sacred river’s waves.
There we
will lie down together
beneath the
shady palm tree
and drink
in love and quiet repose
and dream
our blessed dream.
