by Johann Georg Fischer (1816 - 1897)

Es ist kein hoher Berg so hoch
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Es ist kein hoher Berg so hoch,
So tief kein tiefes Tal,
Es dringt hinauf ein Vögelein,
Hinab ein Sonnenstrahl.

Und wärst du selbst die Perl' im Meer,
Und wärst das Alpengold,
So hoch und tief hätt' ich dein Herz,
Kostbares Kind, geholt.
