There is a land I can see
It's where I long to be
Where the rivers run swiftly
And carry your soul to the farthest star.

There is a land that I know
Where I've lived long ago
Oh! strong comes the voice of the wild-hearted lover
Who is calling to me!

He says there's a land of the sun!
Where all men may come,
Oh! it's not easy to win
It can fade like the spring dew
That runs through your hands.

Come with me tonight!
Now the young moon is bright,
You can feel the earth spinning
Down pathways of starlight that dazzle your sight
There is a land I can see!
