by Ulrich Guttinguer (1785 - 1866)

La Suissesse au bord du Lac
Language: French (Français) 
L'encens des fleurs embaume cet asyle, 
La nuit déscend à pas silencieux, 
Le lac est pur, l'air est frais et tranquille, 
La paix du soir se répand en ces lieux :  
Chorus
  Ô ma patrie, 
  Ô mon bonheur, 
  Toujours chérie, 
  Tu rempliras mon cœur !  

Venez jouir, ô mes jeunes compagnes, 
Du plus beau soir après le plus beau jour ; 
Faisons redire à l'écho des montagnes 
Ces chants si purs de tendresse et de l'amour : 
(Chorus)

Phœbé perçant à travers le nuage 
De mon ami m'annonce le retour ; 
Déja j'entends sur le lointain rivage 
Sa douce voix répéter à son tour : 
(Chorus)

Confirmed with Mélanges poètiques, par Ulric Guttinguer, Paris: Auguste Boulland et Cie., 1824, pages 107 - 108. Appears in Poèmes, in Romances et Poèsies diverses, no. 3.
