 An ***   lyrics by Gustav Falke

Was ich Dir verdanke?
Goldenen Tag und Traum des Glücks
eine blühende Ranke um meinen Lebensbaum
eine Liebe, die im Verzichten schweren Sieg errang
und für mein Singen, mein Dichten
einen reinen keuschen Klang.

To ***   translation by Hélène Lindqvist

What I owe you?
Golden days and dreams of happiness
blossoms on the tree of my life
a love that in sacrificing earned a hard victory
and for my singing, my poetry
a pure chaste sound
