Lorsque le regiment des hallebardiers	A
	-
Bk XXXI	A
	-
	-
When the regiment of Halberdiers	A
Is proudly marching by	B
The eagle of the mountain screams	A
From out his stormy sky	B
Who speaketh to the precipice	A
And to the chasm sheer	C
Who hovers o'er the thrones of kings	A
And bids the caitiffs fear	C
King of the peak and glacier	D
King of the cold white scalps	A
He lifts his head at that close tread	E
The eagle of the Alps	A
	-
O shame those men that march below	F
O ignominy dire	G
Are the sons of my free mountains	A
Sold for imperial hire	D
Ah the vilest in the dungeon	H
Ah the slave upon the seas	A
Is great is pure is glorious	A
Is grand compared with these	A
Who born amid my holy rocks	A
In solemn places high	B
Where the tall pines bend like rushes	A
When the storm goes sweeping by	B
	-
Yet give the strength of foot they learned	I
By perilous path and flood	J
And from their blue eyed mothers won	H
The old mysterious blood	J
The daring that the good south wind	K
Into their nostrils blew	L
And the proud swelling of the heart	M
With each pure breath they drew	L
The graces of the mountain glens	A
With flowers in summer gay	N
And all the glories of the hills	A
To earn a lackey's pay	N
	-
Their country free and joyous	A
She of the rugged sides	A
She of the rough peaks arrogant	O
Whereon the tempest rides	A
Mother of the unconquered thought	P
And of the savage form	Q
Who brings out of her sturdy heart	M
The hero and the storm	Q
Who giveth freedom unto man	R
And life unto the beast	S
Who hears her silver torrents ring	T
Like joy bells at a feast	S
	-
Who hath her caves for palaces	A
And where her ch lets stand	U
The proud old archer of Altorf	B
With his good bow in his hand	U
Is she to suckle jailers	A
Shall shame and glory rest	V
Amid her lakes and glaciers	A
Like twins upon her breast	V
Shall the two headed eagle	W
Marked with her double blow	F
Drink of her milk through all those hearts	A
Whose blood he bids to flow	F
	-
Say was it pomp ye needed	J
And all the proud array	N
Of courtly joust and high parade	X
Upon a gala day	N
Look up have not my valleys	A
Their torrents white with foam	Y
Their lines of silver bullion	H
On the blue hillocks of home	Y
Doth not sweet May embroider	D
My rocks with pearls and flowers	A
Her fingers trace a richer lace	A
Than yours in all my bowers	A
	-
Are not my old peaks gilded	Z
When the sun arises proud	A2
And each one shakes a white mist plume	B2
Out of the thunder cloud	A2
O neighbor of the golden sky	B
Sons of the mountain sod	C2
Why wear a base king's colors	A
For the livery of God	C2
O shame despair to see my Alps	A
Their giant shadows fling	T
Into the very waiting room	B2
Of tyrant and of king	T
	-
O thou deep heaven unsullied yet	D2
Into thy gulfs sublime	E2
Up azure tracts of flaming light	F2
Let my free pinion climb	E2
Till from my sight in that clear light	F2
Earth and her crimes be gone	G2
The men who act the evil deeds	A
The caitiffs who look on	H2
Far far into that space immense	A
Beyond the vast white veil	I2
Where distant stars come out and shine	J2
And the great sun grows pale	I2
