Und wiederum die reine Luft Von deinen Bergen athm' ich ein, Und wiederum, o Schweizerland, O süße Heimat, bist du mein! Ein Alphorn klagt gedämpften Tons Herüber von dem Felsenhang, Ein fernes Heerdenglöcklein klingt, Und meine Seele wird Gesang. In eine Aeolsharfe ist Verwandelt wieder mein Gemüth, Darüber wie ein linder Hauch Der Zauber deiner Sagen zieht.
F. Kamm sets stanzas 1, 2, 1, 3, 1

And once again I breathe in The pure air from your mountains, And once again, oh Switzerland, Oh sweet homeland, you are mine! An alpine horn laments with a muted tone Over from the rocky crag, A distant little cow bell rings, And my soul becomes song. My spirit is again transformed Into an Aeolian harp, Over which, like a gentle breath, The magic of your legends passes.
