Ihr fernen Heimathöhen, 
Du stilles, kleines Haus,
Du Berg, von dem ich gesehen
Jeden Frühling ins Land hinaus,
Mutter, Freunde und Brüder,
An die ich so oft gedacht,
Es/Ihr grüßt mich Alle(s) wieder
In stiller Mondesnacht.

  Heut' im Traum sah ich euch wieder,
Und von allen Bergen ging
Solches Grüßen zu mir nieder,
Daß ich an zu weinen fing.

Confirmed with Gedichte von Joseph Freiherrn von Eichendorff, Zehnte Auflage, Leipzig: C.F. Amelang's Verlag, ca. 1879, pages 49-50.

Also confirmed with Viel Lärmen um Nichts von Joseph Freiherrn von Eichendorff und Die mehreren Wehmüller und ungarischen Nationalgesichter von Clemens Brentano. Zwei Novellen, Berlin: In der Vereins-Buchhandlung, 1833, pages 13 (first three stanzas) and 15 (fourth stanza).

Note: first appeared in the novella Viel Lärmen um Nichts, 1833; fourth stanza omitted in later collection

Note for stanza 1, line 2: in Rheinberger's setting, the first time this line is sung, word 5 is "zieht" instead of "fliegt", but the word reverts to the original in the repetition.

You distant heights of my homeland,
You quiet little house,
You mountain, from which I saw
every Spring go out into the land;
mother, friends and brother,
of whom I have so often thought -
you all greet me once again
in the silent moonlit night.

Today in a dream I saw you again,
And from every mountain 
Such greetings came down to me,
That I began to weep.
