Am Ort, wo meine Wiege stand
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Am Ort, wo meine Wiege stand,
Hab' ich ein Heiligtum,
Das geb ich nicht für Edelstein,
Für [Geld]1 und eitlen Ruhm.
[Da]2 bin ich aller Sorgen frei,
[Da]2 ruht es sich so süß.
O liebes treues Mutterherz,
Du bist mein Paradies.

Am Ort, wo meine Wiege stand,
Erblüht mein [erster Blick]3,
Drum zieht es mich [zu jeder Stund']4
Nach diesem Ort zurück.
Ob ich auch heute nicht bei dir,
Ob ich dich auch verließ.
O liebes treues Mutterherz,
Du bist mein Paradies.

Am Ort, wo meine Wiege stand,
Möcht ich begraben sein,
Ihm möcht ich noch den letzten Blick,
Die letzte Träne weih'n,
Dann [ruh']5 ich dort, wo einst ein Herz
[Voll]6 Wehmut mich entließ
O liebes treues Mutterherz,
Du bist mein Paradies.
