Wie traulich war das Fleckchen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Wie traulich war das Fleckchen, Wo meine Wiege ging, Kein Bäumchen war, kein Heckchen, Das nicht voll Träume hing. Wo nur ein Blümchen blühte, Da blühten gleich sie mit, Und alles sang und glühte Mir zu bei jedem Schritt. Ich wäre nicht gegangen, Nicht für die ganze Welt! - Mein Sehnen, mein Verlangen, Hier ruht's in Wald und Feld.
