Lyr. Add: FAREWELL TO THE MOUNTAIN (English)

Farewell to the mountain,
And sun-lighted vale,
The moss-border'd streamlet,
And balm-breathing gale,
All so bright, all so fair,
Here a seraph might drwll--
'Tis too lovely for me,
Farewell! Oh, farewell!

Farewell! for how sweetly,
Each sound meets mine ear,
The wild bee and butterfly,
They may rest here,
Hark! their hum how it blends,
With the deep convent bell--
Such strains are of heaven,
Farewell, oh! farewell!

This song could be the inspiration for "Farewell to the Mountains," by Crockett(?). The meter and the feel are the same.
