Die ihr zum Meere rauscht,
Ströme, du Hain, und ihr, Grotten am Meeresstrand!
So lange, lange Zeit fesselt ihr
395
Mich schon an Troja's Flur; aber hinfort fesselt ihr mich
Nicht athmend mehr im Lichte: hör' es, wem der Sinn hell ist!
Skamandros' Flut,
Nachbarlicher Strom,
Hold dem Achäervolk, 1
400
Nimmer siehst du mehr
Mich, (ein stolzes Wort
Sprech' ich aus!) den Mann, dem Keiner gleicht
Von Allen, welche Troja noch aus Argos' Land
Erscheinen sah: und nun so ruhmlos
405
Lieg' ich am Boden!

mvp-comment-254-2 As I have noted in writing on the Troad elsewhere, ‘nearly all the plains and hills are more or less well-wooded. Besides the valonia oak, the elm, willow, cypress and tamarisk shrub abound. Lotus, galingale, and reeds are still plentiful, as in Homeric days, about the streams in the Trojan plain.’ ( Encyc. Brit., art. ‘Troad,’ vol. XXIII. p. 578.)
