  Bächlein am Wiesenrand
Rinnst du noch immer?
Blumen im Heimathland
Gebt ihr noch Schimmer?
Halme der Heimathkluft
Mögt ihr noch rauschen?
Lerche der Heimatluft
Könnt' ich Dir lauschen!
  Duftige Jugendzeit,
  O wie so weit!

  Fließt noch durch Blumen bunt 
Silberne Kühle;
Rauscht noch im Lindengrund
Klappernde Mühle;
Fenster aus Laubgewind
Leuchtet noch munter, 
Aber das schönste Kind 
Schaut nicht herunter --
  Liebe der Jugendzeit,
  O wie so weit!

  Glück vorbei, Duft verweht, 
Liebe vergangen!
Durch meine Seele geht 
Leises Verlangen. 
Dürft' ich doch einmal nur, 
Einmal Dich schauen --
Heimathwald, Heimathflur, 
Liebste der Frauen!
  Aber wie Ewigkeit 
  Bist Du mir weit. --
