The ruined castle at Heidelberg.

The following lines were written by Rizal in a letter home while he was a student in Germany:

To the Flowers of Heidelberg

(translation by Charles Derbyshire)

Go to my native land, go, foreign flowers,

Sown by the traveler on his way;

And there beneath its azure sky,

Where all of my affections lie;

There from the weary pilgrim say,

What faith is his in that land of ours!

Page 128

Go there and tell how when the dawn,

Her early light diffusing,

Your petals first flung open wide;

His steps beside chill Neckar drawn,

You see him silent by your side,

Upon its Spring perennial musing.
