by Gustav Rasmus (1817 - 1900)

Die Wolken ziehen so stille
NOTE: the footnotes have been removed from this text; return to general view
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Die Wolken ziehen so stille
Im freundlichen Sonnenstrahl, 
Ach könnt ich mit ihnen segeln 
Zum heimathlichen Thal, 

Wohl fern am blauen Gewässer 
Winkt drüben ein grüner Strand 
Mit mächtigen dunkeln Eichen 
Das ist mein Vaterland.

Dort klingen kräftige Lieder, 
Aus freier und froher Brust, 
Dort rauschen der Sänger Saiten 
Beseelt von Sangeslust.

Was regt sich mir in dem Busen? 
Was ist mir das Herz so schwer? 
Ach, das ich am fernen Strande 
In deutscher Heimath wär!
