by Friedrich Ludwig

Nach der Alpe
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Nach der Alpe, nach der Alpe,
wo die süßen Kräuter duften,
wo die Himmelsblumen leuchten
und viel' tausend Quellen rinnen, 
nach der Alpe zieht's mein ganzes Sehnen hin.

Nach der Alpe, nach der Alpe,
wo die stillen Herden läuten,
wo der Ruf der Hirten schallet
und Schalmei und Reigen klingen,
nach der Alpe zieht's mein ganzes Sehnen hin.

Nach der Alpe, nach der Alpe,
wo die Herzen selig grüßen,
wo die Freiheit Lieder singet
und die Andacht süßer betet,
nach der Alpe zieht's mein ganzes Sehnen hin.
