Heimat
Language:
German
Wo weilt er?
Im [kalten, im schaurigen]1 Land.
Wo ruht er?
Am Meere, auf steinigem Strand.
Was treibt er?
Er haschet das fliehende Glück.
Was denkt er?
Er sehnt sich zur Heimat zurück.
O grüßt ihn,
ihr Wolken, im schaurigen Land!
O kühlt ihn,
ihr Lüftchen, am steinigen Strand!
O kränz' ihn,
du falsches, treuloses Glück!
Ich ruf ihn:
O kehre zur Heimat zurück!
