In allen Fernen
Wölbt sich ein Haus,
Aus allen Sternen
Schau'n Englein heraus
Nur wo die Myrthe blüht,
Heimath ist nah,
Nur wo die Traube glüht,
Vaterhaus da! --
Auf allen Hügeln
Giesst sich die Flut,
Und Vöglein schwingt Flügel
Flügeln
Überall gut;
Über den Fernen fort
Wölbt sich ein Haus,
Aus allen Sternen dort
Schau'n Englein 'raus. --

Set to music by Josephine Lang (1815 - 1880), "Heimath", 1835, published 1882 [ voice and piano ], Leipzig: Breitkopf & Härtel

In all the far distances
Arches a house,
From every star
Angels peek out,
Only where the myrtle blooms,
Home is near!
Only where the grape glows,
Is my paternal house! --
On all the hilltops,
The waters pour down,
And little birds spread their wings
Everywhere easily!
Above the far distances,
A house ever arches,
From every star there
Angels peek out!
