  O beautiful river, How gently among The fields and the forests Thou glidest along! ’Mid thy pleasant valleys And cool shady bow’rs, Grow tall fragrant grasses And bright blooming flow’rs. By day o’er thy waters The sun beameth bright, And stars ever twinkle Above thee by night. And never complaining Thou flowest along ’Mid nature’s wide province With laughter and song: Content with thy mission In nature’s great plan; And such is thy lesson Thou teachest to man. |
