FROM OUR MERRY SWISS HOME.
Duet.
From our merry Swiss home we come, we come;
Our hearts are light and free;
With a smile we greet every eye we meet,
Two merry hearts are we.
The live-long day we chant our lay,
La, la, la; la, la, la; la, la, la; la, la, la, la;
Two merry hearts, two merry hearts,
Two merry hearts are we, are we,
Two merry hearts are we, are we,
Two merry hearts are we.
Solo.
When the advent of morning appears in the sky,
We rise from our peaceful repose,
To the valley, the meadow, the mountain we hie,
To cull each fair flow’ret that grows.
Chorus.—From our merry, &c.
Solo, Second Voice.
Though humble our cot on the mountain may be,
A life of contentment we live;
We sigh not for wealth, from its cares we are free,
For wealth cannot happiness give.
Chorus.—From our merry, &c.
