by Johann Georg Fischer (1816 - 1897)

Ein Tag, so seid ihr über'm Meer
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ein Tag, so seid ihr über'm Meer 
Und habet, was ihr liebt, 
Weil euch zur Sehnsucht hin und her 
Das Glück die Flügel gibt. 

Zu Hause hier, zu Hause dort, 
Denn euch gehört die Welt: 
O selig, der an jedem Ort 
Sein Glück am Busen hält!
