by August Ferdinand Meyer (1811 - 1894), as Friedrich Brunold

Grüss' Gott
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Grüß Gott! das ist der schönste Spruch,
Der überall schon Segen trug;
Wo nur ein Freund erblickt den Freund,
Er spricht, so er's von Herzen meint:
Grüß Gott!

Grüß Gott! Dir, Du Geliebte mein,
Zieh' in Dein Herz, mit Gott, hinein;
Und ob ich komm', ob scheiden muß,
Werd' Dir in jedem Klick und Kuß:
Grüß Gott!

Grüß Gott! Dich Schwert in starker Hand,
Und Dich mein liebes Vaterland.
Du Freiheitshauch, der niederthaut,
Ich ruf Dir zu, gleich einer Kraut:
Grüß Gott!
