by Adolph von der Recke (1820 - 1867)

Det går atter hjemad til den lille by
Language: Danish (Dansk) 
Det går atter hjemad til den lille by,
hvor min skole ligger lunt i lindens ly. 
Det går atter bort fra verdens støj og strid
hjem til skolelivets stille flid. 
Det går atter bort fra verdens støj og strid
hjem til skolelivets stille flid. 

Dette liv med al sin byrde og besvær
er min lykke, jeg min skole har så kær. 
Men skal målet nås, må friske kræfter til,
mon den rette mand jeg finde vil? 
Men skal målet nås, må friske kræfter til,
mon den rette mand jeg finde vil? 

Vil i denne mand en trofast ven jeg få,
som de kære børns tanke vil forstå? 
Vil han streng og kærlig lede dem på vej,
frem for alting elske dem som jeg? 
Vil han streng og kærlig lede dem på vej,
frem for alting elske dem som jeg?
