Es zwitschert ein Vöglein: Komm' mit! Komm' mit! Zu fröhlichem Wandern, beflügle den Schritt! Die Welt ist so schön, die Welt ist so weit, Und auf rastlosen Flügeln enteilet die Zeit. Die blumigen Auen, die ragenden Höhn, Es kann sich mein Auge nicht müde dran sehn: Der schimmernde Stern und der rauschende Wald, -- Stets faßt er mein Herz mit erneuter Gewalt. Wohl wandert's sich lustig den Stab in der Hand, Und doch bleibt mein Sinn an die Heimath gebannt, Da schlägt mir ein Herz, und das Herz ist so reich, Und es schenkt mir die Welt und den Himmel zugleich.

A birdlet twitters: come along! come along! To happy wandering, give wings to your steps! The world is so lovely, the world is so broad, And upon restless wings time flies by. The flowery meadows, the towering heights, My eyes cannot tire of looking at them: The shimmering star and the soughing forest, -- [They] ever grip my heart with renewed power. One can surely wander quite merrily with the staff in one's hand, And yet my spirit remains bound to my homeland; There a heart beats for me, and that heart is so full, And it gives me the world and heaven at the same time.
