On the Alm

Lyrics

A mellow bell peals near It has so sweet a sound; I know a maiden dear With voice as full and round A sunlight alm shines clear With clover blossoms sweet; There dwells my maiden dear And there my love I meet There flying with no fear The swallows pass all day And fast, my maiden dear Sees chamois haste away I cannot linger here I cannot wait below; To seek my maiden dear I, to the alm must go The mountain's call I hear And up the height I bound; I know my maiden dear Will mark my Juchhé sound Rejoicing come I here My flaxen-haired sweet-heart; I love thee maiden dear
