Being of Italian-Norwegian stock, my German is pretty bad but, for reasons I know not, the following bit of Wagner's Tristan (used by Eliot in his The Waste Land) kept coming to me:

Der Heimat zu
Mein Irisch Kind,
Wo weilest du?
Absolutely no idea how these things are connected; I don't think I know any Irish Ki(n)ds.
Memo to self: consult shrink on this one.
