'Tis well! my way lies yonder!

I hear afar the snowy mountains calling;

Forth to their heights I wander,

Forth to the sunset glow;

'Tis they shall calm the sorrow, calm the sorrow,

This heart alone, this heart alone may know.



Oh! peaceful cottage,

Dear home of my childhood,

The mountains are calling me!

Alas! I now must leave thee!

And nevermore,

And nevermore shall mine eyes fondly behold thee!

Home that I love so dearly.

Farewell! farewell!





'Tis well! my way lies yonder;

I can hear the snowy mountains calling;

Forth to their heights I wander;

Farewell! farewell! home of my childhood!

Farewell for evermore!
