Out of the reason that you have a german signature, my birthday wishes go directly to you in this language. Have a wonderful day!! Mein Freund, wie fern Du mir auch sei'st, Doch werd' ich ungebunden Dir nahe sein mit Herz und Geist In diesen schönen Stunden; Mit Dir in das, was Dich betrübt, Mich trauernd zu versenken, Und derer, die Du heiß geliebt, In Liebe zu gedenken. (Translation, hopefully to understand, it was really difficult, it's grammatically from 1856): My friend, how far you might be I will freely be close by heart and mind in these wonderful hours follow you, what saddens you to become engrossed in mourning and those, you dearly loved to commemorate in love
