In Summer when the Vales are clear
In summer when the Vales are clear
And lowland hedges toss their flowery lights,
How oft the great Alps disappear
And mists invade your foreheads, O ye sovran heights!
And lowland hedges toss their flowery lights,
How oft the great Alps disappear
And mists invade your foreheads, O ye sovran heights!
But when midwinter's bitterest power
Must be endured, and the chill rose is done
And little farms in valleys cower,
Ye, everlasting summits, do abide in sun!
Must be endured, and the chill rose is done
And little farms in valleys cower,
Ye, everlasting summits, do abide in sun!
