And my longed-for travelogue puts to shame
My longed-for journey comes to pass
the garden, in the discerning youth’s eyes.
In the garden with the charming lad

So if you go abroad, take it with you,
If you're a stranger, let it accompany you
for it is the stranger’s solace.
For it is the consolation of the lonely
