by Johannes Stauffacher (1850 - 1916)

Dein gedenk' ich, heiss verlangend
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Choose for Diff
Dein gedenk' ich, heiss verlangend,
Ferne Schweiz, mein Vaterland!
All mein Sinnen frommt mir nicht,
Denn trüb und bangend 
Weil' ich an dem fernen Strand.

Dein gedenk' ich, wunderschöne, 
Wilde, stolze Alpenwelt! 
Und dann klingt es durch mein Herz 
Wie Glockentöne, 
Bis ein Tränlein heimlich fällt.

Euer denk' ich, Grabeshügel,
Kühl und reich an stillem Glück!
Was das Leben? Lug und Trug!
O hätt' ich Flügel!
In mein Tal flög ich zurück!
