We ask of all graceful, how plainly to speak,
The heart who we pray, it has language for me.
Whenever the light through its branches is breaking,
A host of kind faces is gazing on me.
The friends of my childhood again are before me,
Each step rates of memory as free,
Many I know, with soft whispers later,
Its leaves rustle on me,
The astro, the astro, alone is my home.
Oh, friends of my childhood, I cannot be phobic.
Each step, which a memory hurts freely, I know.
With soft whispers later, it leaves rustle on me.
The ash grove, the ash grove alone is my home.
