Rhyme Scheme: ABACDCDC EFEFGFGF HIHIJIJI KLKMNLNL| IN Schnee der Alpen so it runs | A |
| To those divine accords and here | B |
| We dwell in Alpine snows and suns | A |

| From mankind's turbid valley cries | F |
| So all we mountain lovers sing | G |

| Adore with me a common star | L |
| I value not the rest above | N |
| The ashes of a bad cigar | L |
