I might be wrong, but I think that when the author says, "To the strand a picnic plan for you and me," he is using the German word strand, meaning beach. :)

Translation

@clara10155 Definitely - in Ireland a long beach is often called a strand.

@clara10155 It means the same in English, although we don't use it much any more. You'll find Strand Streets in many seaside towns.
