| That tell where deep the crystal lies | E |
| Tho' next to crystal we too grant | F |
| That ladies' eyes may most enchant | F |
| O'er mountains bright etc | G |

| Sometimes when on the Alpine rose | E |
| The golden sunset leaves its ray | H |
| So like a gem the floweret glows | E |

| We bless the rose that shines so fair | I |
| O'er mountains bright | A |
| With snow and light | A |
| We Crystal Hunters speed along | B |
| While rocks and caves | E |
| And icy waves | E |
| Each instant echo to our song | B |
