  Lindes Rauschen in den Wipfeln,
Vöglein, die ihr fernab fliegt,
Bronnen von den stillen Gipfeln,
Sagt, wo meine Heimat liegt?

  Heut' im Traum sah ich sie wieder,
Und von allen Bergen ging
Solches Grüßen zu mir nieder,
Daß ich an zu weinen fing.

  Ach! hier auf den fremden Gipfeln:
Menschen, Quellen, Fels und Baum --
Wirres Rauschen in den Wipfeln
Alles ist mir wie ein Traum.

Also confirmed with Viel Lärmen um Nichts von Joseph Freiherrn von Eichendorff und Die mehreren Wehmüller und ungarischen Nationalgesichter von Clemens Brentano. Zwei Novellen, Berlin: In der Vereins-Buchhandlung, 1833, pages 13 (first three stanzas) and 15 (fourth stanza).

Note: first appeared in the novella Viel Lärmen um Nichts, 1833; fourth stanza omitted in later collection

Note for stanza 1, line 2: in Rheinberger's setting, the first time this line is sung, word 5 is "zieht" instead of "fliegt", but the word reverts to the original in the repetition.

Suave susurro de las copas de los árboles,
pajarillo que vuela lejos,
fuente de las silenciosas cumbres,
decidme: ¿dónde queda mi tierra?

Hoy en sueños los he vuelto a ver
y de todas las montañas
me han llegado tales recuerdos
que he roto a llorar.

¡Ay, aquí en las cumbres extranjeras
gentes, fuentes, roca y árbol…
el murmullo confuso de las copas 
todo es como un sueño para mí!
