by August Heinrich Hoffmann von Fallersleben (1798 - 1874)

Wenn der Sonne goldner Strahl
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wenn der Sonne goldner Strahl
Scheidend grüßt das grüne Feld,
Aus dem mild umglänzten Thal
Eine Weidenflöte gellt --

Ach, vor meinen Blicken liegt 
Dann der Kindheit goldnes Land;
Drin mich Liebe hat gewiegt,
Dran mich Liebe hält gebannt.
