Drum wie die Staren
Mit Freudengeschrei,
Wenn im Olivenland,
In liebenswürdiger Fremde
Im Tal Die Sonne sticht,
Und das Herz der Erde tuet
Sich auf (...)und wo (...)
Gastfreundlich die Schwellen sind,
An blütenbekränzter Strass'.
Sie spüren nämlich die Heimat. (...)
Wenn aber
Die Luft sich bahnt,
Und ihnen machet wacker
Scharfwehend die Augen der Nordost,
Fliegen sie auf.
