by Robert Grosewsky (1823 - 1866)

Wo den Himmel Berge kränzen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wo den Himmel Berge kränzen,  
Nebel wallen um die Kluft, 
Wo im Gold die Firnen glänzen 
Bei des Abendschimmers Duft, 
CHORUS
 Wo die Alpenrosen blüh'n,
 Dahin, dahin möcht' ich zieh'n.

Wo vom Fels die Bächlein springen, 
Rauschend stürzen in den Schlund, 
Wo die Heerdenglöcklein klingen 
Zauberhaft im dunklen Grund, 
(CHORUS)

Wo die Seen im Felsenschatten 
Bleicher Mondenschimmer küßt, 
Wo auf sammetweichen Matten 
Gems um Gemse sich begrüßt,  
(CHORUS)

Wo die Waldschlucht widerhallet 
Muntrer Senner frohen Sang,  
Wo das Echo weithin schallet 
Bei des Alpenhornes Klang,  
(CHORUS)
