by (Heinrich) Ludwig Theodor Giesebrecht (1792 - 1873)

Nun auf dem fremden Boden mehret
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Nun auf dem fremden Boden mehret
Und baut euch, Israels Geschlecht;
Der Pflug allein ist euch verwehret,
Gewerb und Handel euer Recht.

Zu Herr'n erhöhet die Verlornen
Der Freiheitsbrief in meiner Hand:
Das ist der Preis des Erstgebornen,
Der meinem Schoße sich entwand.

Mein Sohn, mein Sohn, mein Sohn, du mir genommen,
Da ich mich kaum an dir geletzt!
Wohin, wohin? Die Priester kommen,
Die Taufe hat sein Haupt genetzt!

Gestrichen aus dem Buch der Erben,
Entführt dem Volk der GottesWahl!
Mit Magog wird mein Kind verderben,
Wird liegen in dem Haufental.
