by Wilhelm Ganzhorn (1818 - 1880)

Im schönsten Wiesengrunde ist meiner...
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Im schönsten Wiesengrunde ist meiner Heimat Haus.
Da zog ich manche Stunde ins Tal hinaus.
Dich, mein stilles Tal grüß ich tausendmal!
Da zog ich manche Stunde ins Tal hinaus.

Müsst aus dem Tal ich scheiden, wo alles Lust und Klang,
das wär mein herbstes Leiden, mein letzter Gang.
Dich, mein stilles Tal grüß ich tausendmal!
Das wär mein herbstes Leiden, mein letzter Gang.

Sterb ich, in Talesgrunde will ich begraben sein.
Singt mir zur letzten Stunde beim Abendschein!
Dir, o stilles Tal, Gruß zum letzten Mal!
Singt mir zur letzten Stunde beim Abendschein!
