The big surprise, maybe, is that the poem didn't stay with me from the outset, I couldn't even remember the author's name! The only words that stuck in my head were those from the start of the third stanza: "Auf die Bergen will ich steigen" - Literally: "On the mountains I want to climb," in my Cornish translation: "War an gadon 'fynnav krambla." I repeated these words time after time, I've done this with words from another Heine poem I've translated, An Lorelei.
