Alplied
 (Sung text for setting by C. Loewe)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Auf hoher Alp 
Wohnt auch der liebe Gott,
Er färbt den Morgen roth,
Die Blümlein weiß und blau,
Und labet sie mit Thau.
Auf hoher Alp ein lieber Vater wohnt.

Auf hoher Alp, 
Auf kräuterreichen Höhn
Die Lüfte lieblich wehn,
Gewürzig, frei und rein.
Mags auch sein Odem seyn?
Auf hoher Alp ein lieber Vater wohnt.

Auf hoher Alp 
Erquickt sein milder Strahl
Das stille Weidethal;
Des hohen Glätschers Eis
Glänzt wie ein Blütenreis.
Auf hoher Alp ein lieber Vater wohnt.
