   • 1844, Felix Mendelssohn, Hör' mein Bitten (with literal translation):

     O könnt' ich fliegen wie Tauben dahin,
     weit hinweg vor dem Feinde zu fliehn!
     In die Wüste eilt' ich dann fort,
     fände Ruhe am schattigen Ort.

     Oh, if I could fly off like the doves,
     flee far away from the foe!
     Into the wilderness I would then hasten,
     and find repose in a shadowy place.
