Knowst thou the land where the lemon trees bloom, · Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

I sing as the bird sings That lives in the boughs.

Knowst thou the land where the lemon trees bloom, 4 Where the gold orange glows in the deep thicket’s gloom, Where a wind ever soft from the blue heaven blows, And the groves are of laurel and myrtle and rose?

Beauty Flowers and Gardens
