by Karl Julius Curtius (1802 - 1849)

So viel Wolken droben wiegen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
So viel Wolken droben wiegen,
So viel Vögel als da fliegen,
So viel Grüße,
So viel Küsse
Send' ich in mein Vaterland.

So viel Wellen heimwärts schwimmen,
So viel Stern' am Himmel glimmen,
So viel Sehnen,
So viel Thränen
Send' ich in mein Vaterland.

So viel Blumen als da blühen,
So viel Lüfte als da ziehen,
So viel Schmerzen
Sind im Herzen
Um das liebe Vaterland.

So viel Tropfen in dem Bogen,
So viel Grüße heimwärts flogen,
So viel Lieben
Sind geblieben
In dem schönen Vaterland.
