[Huette von Ahrens]

Thomas!!!

Welcome back!!!!

Your translation beat mine.  I wouldn't have attempted
it if I had known you had resubscribed. I guess I blew
the translation for the last verse.  Sigh.

I do have to ask this ... why lime tree and not linden
tree?  I thought that lime was "linde" and linden was
"linden".
