Wie bist du schön, o Schweizerland
 (Sung text for setting by T. Gaugler)
 Matches base text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
O Schweizerland, wie bist du so schön
mit deinen Seen, deinen Höh'n!
O herbes Weh', o harte Buß',
wenn einer von dir scheiden muss!
Leb wohl, leb wohl, vom Felsenrand
sei dir mein letzter Gruß gesandt,
mein liebes, teures Schweizerland!

In Freud' und Not 
bleib' treu ich dir bis in den Tod.
Mein Schweizerland, wie lachst so hold
mir zu du noch im Abendgold;
wie klingt das Horn von Berg und Tal,
leb wohl, leb wohl zum letzten Mal,
mein liebes, teures Schweizerland!

Composition:

    Set to music by Theodor Gaugler (1840 - 1892), "Wie bist du schön, o Schweizerland", op. 20 (Fünf Lieder für vierstimmigen gemischten Chor (S., A., T. und B.) im Volkston) no. 3, published 1874 [ SATB chorus ], Wien, Schreiber
