by Justinus (Andreas Christian) Kerner (1786 - 1862)
Language: German (Deutsch)
Die Straßen, die ich gehe, So oft ich um mich sehe, Sie bleiben fremd doch mir. Die Herberg, wo ich möcht' weilen, Ich kann sie nicht ereilen, 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.
Note: also published without a title in chapter 14 of Die Heimatlosen
