She has composed the lyrics for the national anthem of Austria in 1947, Land der Berge, Land am Strome.

It is said that she also composed a satirical version of the anthem, for the amusement of her children.

"Land der Erbsen, Land der Bohnen,
Land der vier allierten Zonen,
Wir verkaufen Dich im Schleich,
Viel geliebtes Oesterreich!
Und droben überm Hermannskogel
flattert froh der Bundesvogel!"
(to be translated)
