by Friedrich Hermann Frey (1839 - 1911), as Martin Greif

Auf der Eisenbahn
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wir fliegen auf den Schienen, 
Wie schön ist doch die Welt!  
Es steht in aller Mienen, 
Wie sehr die Fahrt gefällt.  

Der grüne Hang zur Seite 
Grüßt, bunter Blumen voll, 
Ich weiß, &daß ich noch heute 
Mein Liebchen schauen soll.  

Confirmed with Gedichte von Martin Greif, dritte durchgesehene und stark vermehrte Auflage, Stuttgart: J. G. Cotta'schen Buchhandlung, 1883, page 49.
