SONG: EIN FICHTENBAUM by HEINRICH HEINE

First Line: A FIR TREE STANDETH LONELY
Last Line: IN BURNING WASTES OF SAND.
Subject(s): LONGING; LOVE; SOLITUDE; LONELINESS;
A FIR-TREE standeth lonely
On a barren northern height,
Asleep, while winter covers
His rest with robes of white.

In dreams, he sees a palm-tree
In the golden morning-land;
She droops alone and silent
In burning wastes of sand.
