by Karl Stieler (1842 - 1885)

Durch die öde Nordlandhaide
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Durch die öde Nordlandhaide 
Reit ich hin im müden Schritt;
Ohne Ende, ohne Freude,
Schweigend zieht mein Knappe mit.

Kein Geläute darf ich hören,
Keine Saaten schaun ringsum;
Hier und dort nur niedre Föhren,
Erd' und Himmel -- alles stumm! 

Kein Gebäu, kein Fels, kein Hügel,
Nur der kühle Haideduft! 
Eine Mühle dehnt die Flügel 
Fernhin in der leeren Luft.

Also bin ich hingezogen,
Müd' die Seele und die Hand;
Herzdurchwogt -- ich kenn' dies Wogen --
Heimweh heißt's im deutschen Land.
