by Anton Alexander, Graf von Auersperg (1806 - 1876), as Anastasius Grün

Zwei Wanderer zogen hinaus zum Thor
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Zwei [Wanderer]1 zogen hinaus zum Thor,
Zur herrlichen Alpenwelt empor.
Der Eine ging, weil's Mode just,
Den Andern trieb der [Drang in der]2 Brust.

Und als daheim nun wieder die Zwei,
Da [rückt die ganze Sippe]3 herbei,
Da [wirbelt's]4 von Fragen ohne Zahl:
«Was habt ihr gesehn? Erzählt einmal!»

Der eine drauf mit Gähnen spricht:
"Was wir gesehn? Viel Rares nicht!
Ach, Bäume, Wiesen, Bach und Hain,
Und blauen Himmel und Sonnenschein!"

Der Andere lächelnd dasselbe spricht,
Doch leuchtenden Blicks, mit verklärtem Gesicht:
"Ei, Bäume, Wiesen, Bach und Hain,
Und blauen Himmel und Sonnenschein!"
