Classic Poem

Entflieh mit mir und sei mein Weib

" Oh fly with me and be my love,
Rest on my heart, and never rouse;
And in strange lands my heart shall be
Thy fatherland and father's house.

" But if you stay, then I die here,
And you shall weep and wring your hands;
And even in your father's house
You shall be living in strange lands. "
