English.png English text

1  Scent-laden breezes through the flowers are blowing;
Solemnly veiling earth descends the night;
Still is the lake, the distant Alpine summits
Shine, glory-clad, in golden evening light.
O land of beauty, home that I love,
Never from thee will my heart's devotion rove.

2  Come, let us forth, this evening-time to honour;
Come to the vale, and wander hand in hand.
Let us to song the parting hours be giving;
Sweetly will echo sound along the strand.
O land of beauty, home that I love,
Never from thee will my heart's devotion rove.

3  Clear is the moon, the steep of heaven upclimbing,
Shining to greet us ere she seeks the west;
Down from the height there floats the voice of Alphorns,
Which call us all to welcome evening rest.
O land of beauty, home that I love,
Never from thee will my heart's devotion rove.
Translation by John Troutbeck
