| Yon peak of snow | A |
| Is reddening 'neath the sunset glow | A |
| The rosy light | B |
| Makes richly bright | B |
| The Jungfrau's veil of snowy white | B |
| - | |
| From vales that sleep | C |
| Night's shadows creep | C |
| To take possession of the steep | C |
| While as they rise | D |
| The western skies | D |
| Seem loath to leave so fair a prize | D |
| - | |
| The light of day | E |
| Still loves to stay | E |
| And round that pearly summit play | E |
| How fair a sight | B |
| That realm of light | B |
| Contended for by Day and Night | B |

| When daylight dies | D |
| The azure skies | D |
| Seem sparkling with a thousand eyes | D |
| Which watch with grace | H |
| From depths of space | H |
| The sleeping Jungfrau's lovely face | H |
| - | |
| And when the Light | B |
| Hath put to flight | B |
| Night's shadows from each Alpine height | B |
| Along the skies | D |
| It quickly flies | D |
| To kiss the Maiden's opening eyes | D |
| - | |
| The timid flush | I |
| And rosy blush | I |
| Which then from brow to bosom rush | I |
| Are pure and fair | J |
| Beyond compare | J |
| Resplendent in the crystal air | J |
| - | |
| And thus alway | K |
| By night and day | E |
| Her varying suitors homage pay | E |
| And tinged with rose | L |
| Or white with snows | L |
| The same fair radiant form she shows | L |
