In der Fremde (In foreign parts) Translation:
From the direction of home, come red flashes of lightning Clouds descend,
But Father and Mother are long dead; No one there knows me anymore.
How soon, ah, how soon will that quiet time come, When I too shall rest
And over me the beautiful forest’s loneliness shall rustle,
And no one here shall know me anymore.
