MIGNON'S SONG.
TRANSLATED FROM GOETHE.
Kennst du das Land wo die Citronen blühn?
Know'st thou the land where bloom the Citron bowers,
Where the gold-orange lights the dusky grove?
High waves the laurel there, the myrtle flowers,
And thro' a still blue heaven the sweet winds rove.
Know'st thou it well?
—There, there, with thee,
O friend, O lov'd one! fain my steps would flee.
