Wikipedia

"Wildgänse rauschen durch die Nacht" (Wild geese rush through the night) is a war poem by Walter Flex. It was published in 1917 in his collection of poems Im Felde zwischen Nacht und Tag (In the (battle) field between day and night). The poem was also included in his 1916 novel Der Wanderer zwischen beiden Welten (The Wanderer Between Two Worlds).

The lyrics achieved popularity through a musical adaptation written by Robert Götz. Götz's melody existed as early as 1917 and the song became popular among members of the Wandervogel movement / Bündische Jugend society during the late 1920s. It is also sung in the Austrian, German and French (as "Les Oies sauvages") army.
