In the bündisch scene is another popular song.

In addition to the prominence of the author, the song owes its great popularity to its content: the romance of journeys , wanderlust and the recurring motif of the lonely, wild Nordland ( Scandinavia ) in the Bundischen scene . The melody, a song of the Kuban Cossacks , underlines the longing mood of the text with its peculiar alternation between major and minor.
