I had a lovely homeland long ago. <br />The oak trees seemed <br />So tall there, and the violets blew so sweet. <br />It was a dream. <br />It kissed me in German, spoke in German <br />(You’d scarce believe <br />How good it sounds) the words: I love you true!’ <br />It was a dream.<br /><br />Heinrich Heine<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/ich-hatte-einst/
