Wohlauf und [frisch]1 gewandert ins unbekannte Land! Zerrissen, ach zerrissen, ist manches teure Band. Ihr heimatlichen Kreuze, wo ich oft betend lag, Ihr Bäume, ach, ihr Hügel, oh blickt mir segnend nach. Noch schläft die weite Erde, kein Vogel weckt den Hain, Doch bin ich nicht verlassen, doch bin ich nicht allein, Denn, ach, auf meinem Herzen trag' ich ihr teures Band, Ich fühl's, und Erd und Himmel sind innig mir verwandt.

Su, in lieto cammino per la landa sconsciuto! Distrutti, ahimè distrutti sono molti cari legami. Voi croci del mio paese, dove mi fermavo spesso a pregare, voi alberi e colline, seguitemi con lo sguardo benedicente. Dorme ancora la vasta terra, nessun uccello sveglia il bosco, ma io non sono abbandonato, ma io non sono solo, perché nel cuore porto il dolce pegno di lei, lo sento, e terra e cielo sono intimamente legati a me.
