by Josef Wiss-Stäheli (1878 - 1963)

Im Gebirge
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Auf den rauhen Felsenstein
bin ich hingesessen,
alle Sorgen groß und klein,
alle sind vergessen.

Unten rauscht der Felsenquell,
singt die schönsten Lieder,
und die Firnen silberhell
grüßen hoch hernieder.

Ob dem grünen Bergeshang
fliehen Wolkenschatten,
und der Herdenglockenklang
tönt von allen Matten.

Eine Lerche steigt ins All,
singet eine Weise,
und des Liedes Widerhall
klinget in mir leise.
