It is something like this: Traveler from earth below/ when thee not further in our hall's magic glow/bide with us rather hast thou scanned joy's distant morrow/ cast away sorrow and enter'd the wish'd for land?

It is a song found in the book "Tales from the 'Phantasus,' etc
By Johann Ludwig Tieck (Page 7, "The Friends")
