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 -- Alles ist mir wie ein Traum. Muntre Vögel in den Wipfeln, Ihr Gesellen dort im Tal, Grüßt mir von den fremden Gipfeln Meine Heimat tausendmal!

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.

Teder ruisen in de bomen, Vogels die naar ver weg vliegt, Bronnen uit de stille bergen, Zeg mij waar mijn thuisland ligt! In mijn droom zag ik ze heden En van alle bergen sprong Mij zo ‘n groet toe hier beneden, Dat ik slechts nog schreien kon. Ach! Hier op de vreemde bergen: Mensen, bronnen, rots en boom – Alles is mij als een droom! Wakk’re vogels in de bomen, Mijn gezellen ginds in ’t dal, Vanaf deze vreemde hoogten Groet mijn thuisland toch vooral!
