Lass, Fürstin, lass noch einen Strahl |
Let, Princess, let yet one more ray |
Aus Salems Sterngewölben schiessen; |
Shoot from Jerusalem’s starry vault; |
Und sieh, mit wieviel Tränengüssen |
And see with how many gushes of tears |
Umringen wir dein Ehrenmal. |
We surround your monument. |
transl. Michael Marissen and Daniel R. Melamed |
