by August Heinrich Hoffmann von Fallersleben (1798 - 1874)

Meine Heimath
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Nennet schön der Reben Düfte,
Wunderschön des Rheines Welle --
Seligsüß Erinnrung trink' ich 
Nur aus meiner Heimath Quelle;

Hauch' ich aus der Heide Blüthen,
Lausch' ich aus der Fichte Sausen,
Aus des Frühlings Sang und Summen,
Und der Wälder stillem Grausen.

Weh herüber, wo der Wildhirt 
Mit dem Speer die Saaten schützet,
Wo der Schäfer brennt die Heide,
Daß der Himmel röthlich blitzet --

Weh herüber, Frühlingslüftchen, 
Glockentöne meinen Ohren! 
Frühlingslüftchen, weh herüber!
Und ich werde neugeboren. 

Confirmed with Gedichte von Hoffmann von Fallersleben, Volume 1, Leipzig, F. A. Brockhaus, 1834, p. 65
