Lied in der Ferne
 (Sung text for setting by E. Zumsteeg)
 Matches original text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Einsam?   
Nein, das bin ich nicht!  
Denn die Geister meiner Lieben, 
Die in ferner Heimath blieben, 
Sie umschweben mich.  

Traurig?  
Nein, das bin ich nicht!  
Denn ich weiß daß in Gedanken 
Meine Theuern sich umranken, 
Und mir nahe sind.  

Glüklich?  
Nein, das bin ich nicht!  
Denn bei still geweinten Thränen 
Fühl ich wehmuthsvolles Sehnen 
Nach der Heimath hin.

Hoffend?  
Ja, dies ist mein Sinn! 
Einst mit den geliebten Meinen 
Wiederum mich zu vereinen, 
Das erfüllt mein Herz!
