Ο Γερμανός ρομαντικός ποιητής Heinrich Heine γράφει το "On Wings of Song" (1827) και ο Felix Mendelssohn εμπνέεται και συνθέτει την ομώνυμη μελωδία (1834).

On Wings of Song,
Sweetheart, I carry you away,
Away to the fields of the Ganges,
Where I know the most beautiful place.
There is a garden of red flax
In the quiet moonlight;
Expect the lotus flowers
Their charming little sister.
The violets giggle and cherish,
And gaze up at the stars;
Secretly tell the roses
Are fragrant fairy ear.
Hopping near and listen
the pious, wise gazelles;
And noise in the distance
The sacred river's waves.
There we will lay down
Under the palm tree
Peace and love and drink
And dream our blissful dream.
