Original text and translations

English text There is an isle, a sweet green isle, Safe girdled by the sea, Where plenty reigns and peace doth smile, And all her sons are free! I'd rather be a peasant free In that proud happy land, Than own a palace that should be Far from dear Albion's strand!

German translation Ein Eiland kenn' ich, meerumspült, Wo meine Wiege stand, Wo Fülle herrscht un Friede lacht, Und frei sind Volk und Land, Ich wollte lieber Bauer sein Im freien Heimathland, Als Herr in einem Fürstenschloss, Das fern von Albion's Strand! Translation by Margarethe Philipp
