¶Liedtext

Oh! who would be bound to the barren Sea, If he could dwell on Land,– Where his step is ever both firm and free, Where flowers arise, Like sweet girls’ eyes, And rivulets sing Like birds in spring? For me, I will take my stand On Land, on Land! For ever and ever on solid Land! I’ve sailed on the boisterous and roaring Sea, With an undaunted band: Yet my village home it more pleaseth me, With valley so gay Where maidens stray, And green grassy mead Where white flocks feed;– And so, I will take my stand On Land, on Land! For ever and ever on solid Land! Some wish they might die on the salt, salt Sea! (Have they been loved on Land?) And some rave of Ocean in riotous glee,– Of billows that break When tempests wake, And lightnings that flash, And waves that dash, But me,– I will take my stand On Land, on Land!
