Of a lost land under the waves of a sea. O summit flower, what strange waves toss Below in the long, long surging! Alpine Primrose. Happy Heart coming home from the far, far hills, How the primrose flamed in the arctic chills! And you heard the flutes of the summit birds: You will keep forever their sky-lost words, Happy Heart coming home from the hills.
