Heimath
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Muttererde, heilig Land!   
Wo der Freuden Wiege stand!  
Deiner denk' ich nah' und ferne, 
Theure Heimath, ewig gerne, 
Wo zuerst ich froh beglückt 
Nach der Mutter hingeblickt! 
Muttererde, heilig Land, 
Wo der Freuden Wiege stand! 

Heimath, Heimath, lieb und traut! 
Wo ich einst mir aufgebaut 
Unter Lust und Spiel und Scherzen 
Einen Himmel meinem Herzen.  
Täglich schau' ich gern zurück 
Nach der Kindheit reichem Glück! 
Heimath, Heimath, lieb und traut, 
Theure Heimath lieb und traut! 

Muttererde, Paradies! 
Welch' ein Laut so lieb und süss! 
Will, so lang mir Blumen blühen, 
Rosig meine Wangen glühen, 
Singen oft aus froher Brust,  
Freuen mich der Heimath Lust! 
Muttererde, Paradies! 
Welch' ein Laut so lieb und süss!
