by Friedrich Heinrich Oser (1820 - 1891)

Der Firnen Schnee, des Himmels Blau
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Der Firnen Schnee, des Himmels Blau,
die Alpenrose zu Füßen;
wie froh sie alle, schau', o schau',
du schlanke Tanne, dich grüßen!

Mit frischen Blüten das Gestein,
das Grün mit goldener Treue;
o wie sie dich im Abendschein
umweben lächelnd aufs Neue!

Du aber flüsterst leise nur
mit freudig holdem Verneigen:
Dem Sturm allein, dem gilt mein Schwur,
ihm bleib' ich ewig zu Eigen.
