Aus der Ferne wendet sich zu dir mein Sinn, aus der Ferne sendet trauten Gruß er hin; traget, laue Winde, meinen Gruß und Sang, wehet leis und linde treuer Liebe Klang! Bist ja doch das eine auf der ganzen Welt, bist ja mein, ich deine, treu dir zugesellt; kannst ja doch von allen, die ich je gesehn, mir allein gefallen, Pommerland, so schön! Jetzt bin ich im Wandern, bin bald hier, bald dort, doch aus allen andern treibt’s mich immer fort: Bis in dir ich wieder finde meine Ruh, send ich meine Lieder dir, o Heimat, zu!
