by Carl Gottfried Birnbaum (1808 - 1865)

Wanderlust
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Die Welt ist schön, die Welt ist weit,
gefällt mir's hier und dort;
ich reise gern, und ohne Leid
geh' ich von Ort zu Ort.
Und ruft die Stund',
bin ich gesund,
so wandr' ich fröhlich fort.

Das Wandern mir gar wohl gefällt,
an Lust mir's nie gebricht;
ich treib' mich durch die bunte Welt,
die freundlich zu mir spricht:
O komm heraus
aus dumpfem Haus
in Gottes Luft und Licht!
