by Oswald Franz Ambrosius Menghin (1888 - 1973)

Hausspruch
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Und sei es nur ein Stückchen Grund
mit einem Häuschen schief und bunt,
es geht dein Glück d'rin ein und aus;
halt fest dein altes Elternhaus!

Nimm deinem Kinde nicht die Frucht
jahrhundertalter Väterwucht!
Dein Enkel höre noch den Ruf
des Geist's, der diese Heimat schuf.

Die Väter haben hier gewohnt,
sie hat mit Erdkraft sie belohnt.
Der kann nicht bleiben wurzelfest,
der leicht das Heim der Eltern lässt.

D'rum halte fest dein Elternhaus,
den Urgrund deines Lebensbau's.
Es geht dein Glück d'rin aus und ein;
dies Haus, es soll dir heilig sein!
