Über mir im Blauen reisen Wolken, die mich heimwärts weisen. Heimwärts in die namenlose Ferne, In das Land des Friedens und der Sterne. Heimat! Soll ich deine blauen Schönen Ufer niemals schauen? Dennoch ist mir, hier im Süden müßten Nah sein und erreichbar deine Küsten.

In the blue above me travel Clouds that point the way home for me. Homeward into the nameless distance, Into the land of peace and of stars. Homeland! Shall I never see Your lovely, blue shores? Nevertheless it seems to me that here in the south Your coasts must be near and reachable.
