One Wish Alone Have I

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 o'er the peaceful deep

No candles shine
Nor tomb I need, instead
Let them for me a bed
Of twigs entwine

That no one weeps my end
Nor for me grieves
But let the autumn lend
Tongues to the leaves
When brooklet ripples fall
With murmuring sound
And moon is found
Among the pine-trees tall

While softly rings
The wind its trembling chime
And over me the lime
Its blossom 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
