Full Lyrics
Hark! above us on the mountain
Sad and solemn tolls the bell,
While a joyous herdboy wanders,
Singing gaily, through the dell.
Now the train the steep ascending,
Chant the chorus loud and clear,
Hush'd the shepherd's song of gladness,
As the sound comes o'er his ear.
To their grave upon the mountain
All in turn consign'd must be,
Joyous herdboy, joyous herdboy,
Soon that bell shall toll for thee.
