“Making my way through the world one country at a time”

The following hymn came to my mind. Unfortunately it is in the German language and not so easy to translate. It is by Eleonore von Reuss. She lived from 1835-1903:

“Ich bin durch die Welt gegangen

und die Welt ist schoen und gross,

und doch ziehet mein Verlangen

mich weit von der Erde los.

That is just the first Verse.
