“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.
