#3 Bañes, John Raylan II-Aldebaran

And tell there of that day he stood,

Near to a ruin'd castle gray,
By Neckar's banks, or shady wood,
And pluck'd you beside the way

Tell, too, the tale to you addressed,

And how with tender care,
Your bending leaves he press'd
Twist pages of some volume rare.

My love to all the love'd one's there,
Peace to my country - faithful land -
Faith whereon its sons may stand,
And virtue for its daughters's care;
All those beloved creatures greet,
That still around home's altar meet.

And when you come home unto its shore,

This kiss I now on you bestow,
Fling where the winged breezes blow;
That borne on them it may hover o'er
All that I love, esteem, and adore.

Go to my native land, go, foreign flowers,

Sown by the traveler on his way,
And there, beneath its azure sky,
Where all my afflictions lie;
There from the weary pilgrim say
What faith is his in that land of ours!

Go there and tell how when the dawn,

Her early light diffusing,
Your petals first flung open wide;
His steps beside chill Neckar drawn

This kiss I now on you bestow,
Fling where the winged breezes blow;
That borne on them it may hover o'er
All that I love, esteem, and adore.

But though, O flowers, you come unto that land,

And still perchance your colors hold;
So far from this heroic strand,
Whose soil frist bade your life unfold
Still here your fragrance will expand;
Your soul that never quits the earth
Whose light smiled on you at your birth

Go to my native land, go, foreign flowers,

Sown by the traveler on his way,
And there, beneath its azure sky,
Where all my afflictions lie;
There from the weary pilgrim say
What faith is his in that land of ours!

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

And when you come home unto its shore,

This kiss I now on you bestow,
Fling where the winged breezes blow;
That borne on them it may hover o'er
All that I love, esteem, and adore.

But though, O flowers, you come unto that land,

And still perchance your colors hold;
So far from this heroic strand,
Whose soil frist bade your life unfold
Still here your fragrance will expand;
Your soul that never quits the earth
Whose light smiled on you at your birth.

vanity since the bloom will never again be similar when it arrives at the nation. Its excellence and
fragrance, which ought to mirror Rizal's expectations for the nation, will long be gone. Why? For
it is a long way from its country.

Rizal composed this when he was in Germany. In France and Germany, Rizal was
outstanding and regarded. Be that as it may, he may have acknowledged what positive attitude
their regard do to his nation. What positive attitude this do to the Philippines on the off chance that
he is serving outside terrains and not his own. His stanzas had a solitary image - The blooms of
Heidelberg. Be that as it may, it symbolizes two substances. To start with, the blossoms' excellence
