Der Herdenreihen
 (Sung text for setting by F. Kamm)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
  Singt, Schweizer, in der Fremde nie 
Des Herdenreihens Melodie,
Sie weckt ein tiefes Sehnen;
Viel Lust und Schmerz 
Durchbebt das Herz 
Bei den geliebten Tönen:
  Alu, alu, aluihu.

 ... 

  Gescheh'n ist's um den Alpensohn.
Denn bei der Heimath Zauberton 
Erwacht des Heimweh's Sehnen.
Es bricht vor Schmerz 
Ihm schier das Herz,
Das Auge schwimmt in Thränen.
  Alu, alu, aluihu.

  O wär' er doch im Alpenland,
Wo an der Felsen steilem Rand 
Die Herden friedlich weiden.
Am blauen See 
Auf Gletscherschnee --
Dort blühen seine Freuden.
  Alu, alu, aluihu.

 ...
