Soviel Wolken droben wiegen
 (Sung text for setting by J. Schüler)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
So viel Wolken droben wiegen,
So viel Vögel als da fliegen,
So viel Grüße,
So viel Küsse
Send' ich in mein Vaterland.

So viel Wellen heimwärts schwimmen,
So viel Stern' am Himmel glimmen,
So viel Sehnen,
So viel Thränen
Hab' ich um mein Heimatland.

So viel Lüfte als da ziehen,
So viel Blumen als da blühen,
So viel Schmerzen
Sind im Herzen
Um das theure Vaterland.

So viel Tropfen in dem Bogen,
So viel Grüße heimwärts flogen,
So viel Lieben
Sind geblieben
In dem schönen Vaterland.

Composition:

    Set to music by Johannes Schüler , "Soviel Wolken droben wiegen", note: only three stanzas are printed in the score but because the piece is strophic, the fourth stanza could be sung if desired
