Erna-Brand-Liederkreis

Song Cycle by Franz Dannehl (1870 - 1947)

5. Wanderer
 (Sung text)

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Die Straßen, die ich gehe,
So oft ich um mich sehe,
Sie bleiben fremd doch mir.
Herberg', wo ich möcht' weilen,
Ich kann sie nicht ereilen,
Weit, weit ist sie von hier.

So fremd mir anzuschauen
Sind diese Städt' und Auen,
Die Burgen stumm und tot!
Doch fern Gebirge ragen,
Die meine Heimat tragen,
Ein ewig Morgenrot.
