Freedom

To my mind those
Days of past are coming
When in the garden was spring
And everyone chirping


Where is such a freedom nowadays
By their own wish one comes and goes


Wound upon my heart is going sore
As upon the tears of dew smiles the flower


That pleasant-seeming picture
That lovely-seeming figure
Prosperous by which
Was my abode


In my home is no more coming
The cry of those who're humming


Had my freedom been
In the hands of my own!


How misfortunate I am
My own home searching I am!


My friends in their nation
Laying I am in this prison


Spring's come
Buds of flowers are smiling
In this dark home
About my fate I am wailing


Who in this prison
Will my misfortune listen
I fear that in this nest
Will be my final rest


My garden since I left
This has been my state
Grief with heart is consumed
And heart with grief is consumed


Take this not as a song
O the ones who listen!
Of grief-stricken hearts
This is the sound of a plaint


Free me O warden
From this prison


I am speechless prisoner
Set me free and gain my prayer
