by Julius Karl Reinhold Sturm (1816 - 1896)

So geht es
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Zur Heimath führte mich
Der Sehnsucht Zug;
Sie lachten, als ich nach
Der Laube frug.

Die alte Laube stand
Schon längst nicht mehr;
Sie ahnten nicht, warum
Das Herz mir schwer.

So mag's der Schwalbe sein,
Die, heimgekehrt,
Ihr altes Nestchen sucht
Und sieht's zerstört. 

Confirmed with Julius Karl Reinhold Sturm, Neue Gedichte, Leipzig: F. A. Brockhaus, 1856, page 69.
