1. Welcome, our honored guest, and greetings!
For your presence has adorned our lands like spring's blossoms.

2. A noble lord has graced our soil,
And dispelled from it the darkness of absence.

3. It rejoiced at his coming, and bloomed before him,
As though clouds had rained goodness upon its expanse.

4. Duke Ferdinand of Saxe-Coburg, so esteemed,
Whose fame has filled both East and West.

5. He visited a school, and it swooned with joy -
No wonder that a place would thrill at such a visit!

6. If only it had a voice to recite:
"Welcome, our honored guest, and greetings!"
