Rhyme Scheme: ABACBDDEFGGHIIH JKHLHLMNMOONFCFP| Hark 'tis the sound that charms | A |
| The war steed's wakening ears | B |
| Oh many a mother folds her arms | A |
| Round her boy soldier when that call she hears | C |
| And tho' her fond heart sink with fears | B |
| Is proud to feel his young pulse bound | D |
| With valor's fever at the sound | D |
| See from his native hills afar | E |
| The rude Helvetian flies to war | F |
| Careless for what for whom he fights | G |
| For slave or despot wrongs or rights | G |
| A conqueror oft a hero never | H |
| Yet lavish of his life blood still | I |
| As if 'twere like his mountain rill | I |
| And gushed forever | H |
| - | |
| Yes Music here even here | J |
| Amid this thoughtless vague career | K |
| Thy soul felt charm asserts its wondrous power | H |
| There's a wild air which oft among the rocks | L |
| Of his own loved land at evening hour | H |
| Is heard when shepherds homeward pipe their flocks | L |
| Whose every note hath power to thrill his mind | M |
| With tenderest thoughts to bring around his knees | N |
| The rosy children whom he left behind | M |
| And fill each little angel eye | O |
| With speaking tears that ask him why | O |
| He wandered from his hut for scenes like these | N |
| Vain vain is then the trumpet's brazen roar | F |
| Sweet notes of home of love are all he hears | C |
| And the stern eyes that looked for blood before | F |
| Now melting mournful lose themselves in tears | P |
