  Wenn die Sonne hinterm Berg sich neigt,
Und der Rauch aus dem Dörflein steigt,
Wenn im Wiesenthal junge Bleicherinnen
Singend wandeln mit den weißen Linnen;
 ... 
O dann  allemal, an mein stilles, stilles Tal,
An die Heimat denk' ich allemal!
Wenn der Mond steigt aus der dunklen Au,
Langsam schwimmt durch des Himmels Blau:
Wenn der Abendwind flüstert durch die Buchen
Und die Vöglein ihre ihre Nester suchen, --
 ... 
O dann  allemal, an mein stilles, stilles Tal,
An die Heimat denk' ich allemal!
