| − | :The mountains! the mountains! we greet them with a song,
| |
| − | :Whose echoes rebounding their woodland heights along,
| |
| − | :Shall mingle with anthems that winds and fountains sing.
| |
| − | :'til hill and valley gaily, gaily ring.

| |
| − | :And the dwelling of the gallant and the free.
