[edit] DIE HEEMET / THE HOME

The German language, or dialect...gave way in part to English as the official language of the Commonwealth in 1836. But it did not "give way" in many homes..., (A. Monroe Aurand, Jr. Early Life of the Pennsylvania Germans, p. 26)


Heemweh
Ich weess net, was die Ursach iss-
Weess net, warum ich's duh:
En yedes Yaahr mach ich der Weg
Der alde Heemet zu;
Hab weider nix zu suche datt-
Kee Aerbschaft un kee Geld;
Un doch dreibt mich des Heemgefiehl
So schtarrck wie all Welt;
Noh schtaerd ich ewwe ab un geh,
Wie owwe schunn gemeldt.
"Heemweh" vum Henry Harbaugh (1817-1867)
