English text
- My love dwelt in a Northern land.
- A dim tower in a forest green
- Was his and far away the sand
- And gray wash of the waves were seen
- The woven forest boughs between:
- And through the Northern summer night
- The sunset slowly died away,
- And herds of strange deer, silverwhite,
- Came gleaming through the forest gray,
- And fled like ghosts before the day.
- And oft that month we watched the moon
- Wax great and white o'er wood and lawn
- And wane, with waning of the June,
- Till, like a brand for battle drawn,
- She fell, and flamed in a wild dawn.
- I know not if the forest green
- Still girdles round that castle gray.
- I know not if, the boughs between,
- The white deer vanish ere the day:
- The grass above my love is green,
- His heart is colder than the clay.
Andrew Lang (1844-1912) Caroline Alice Elgar (1848-1920)
German translation
- Im Norden lag mein's Liebsten Land.
- Ein dunkler Turm in Waldesgrün
- war sein,und an dem fernen Strand
- sah man die grauen Wogen zieh'n,
- davor die Waldeswipfel blüh'n.
- Und in der nördlich Sommernacht
- erstarb das Licht am Waldesrain,
- und wunderweißer Hirsche Pracht
- glomm silberhell im grauen Hain.
- Sie floh'n wie Geister vor dem Schein.
- Und oftmals sah'n des Mondes Kleid
- wir wachsen über Wald und Land,
- und abnehmen wie Junis Zeit,
- bis es, wie Krieges Feuerbrand,
- in wilder Dämm'rung Glut verschwand.
- Ich weiß nicht, ob noch Waldesgrün
- umweht die grauen Zinnenreih'n,
- Ich weiß nicht, ob noch Hirsche fliehn,
- verschreckt von fahler Dämm'rung Schein.
- Das Gras auf seinem Grab ist grün,
- mein's Liebsten Herz ist kalt wie Stein.
