My home is in the mountains, But my heart is in the dale, As summer gushing fountains From the hillside seek the vale; The chamois leaps O’er the icy steeps, And eaglets sunward soar; But dawn of day In the morning gray, I seek their haunts no more. ''My home is in the mountains,'' ''But my heart is in the dale;'' ''Like summer gushing fountains,'' ''From the hill I seek the vale.'' My love is in her bower, In the shadow of that glen, Where bright the Alpine flower From the cliffside mocketh men; At morning’s light, To their giddy height, With eager steps I spring; And dewy bloom In its first perfume To the maiden’s bower I bring. Time flieth like these fountains, But true love shall never fail, My home upon the mountain With the maiden of the vale; And ev’ry morn Of the sunlight born, We’ll welcome with a song, And waning night In the soft moonlight With merry dance prolong.
