Lyrics
[edit]Land der dunklen Wälder
und kristall’nen Seen,
über weite Felder
lichte Wunder geh’n.
Starke Bauern schreiten
hinter Pferd und Pflug,
über Ackerbreiten
streicht der Vogelzug.
Und die Meere rauschen
den Choral der Zeit,
Elche steh’n und lauschen
in die Ewigkeit.
Tag ist aufgegangen
über Haff und Moor,
Licht hat angefangen,
steigt im Ost empor.
Occasionally, performers swap the third and fourth verses.[1]
