In der Fremde
 (Sung text for setting by R. Leberl)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Ich möchte still nach Hause gehn
Und nimmer wieder fort,
Mein Knabenstübchen wiedersehn
Und manchen andern lieben Ort,
In meines Vaters Garten
Wie einst den Lenz erwarten --
O wär', o wär' ich dort!

Vor meinem Fenster steht ein Baum,
Der ist nun lange leer.
Den blauen Himmel sieht er kaum
Von grauen Wänden rings umher.
Bald ist der Baum erstorben,
Bald bin ich hier verdorben,
Seh' nie die Heimat mehr!
