FOR THE ENQUIRER.
Translation of the Swiss Song called,
RANZ DES VACHES.
Ah! when Shall the pleasure be mine
To see all the objects I love?
Our Vales where clear Rivulets shine,
And Cottages rising above?
Our Hoglets so pleasant and gay,
Our Mountains so grand and so tall,
And the pride of those Mountains to me,
My Isabel fairest of all?
Ah! when to the Pipe's merry sound,
Shall I dance in the shades of yore?
Ah! when will the day come around,
Which all that I love shall restore,
My Father, my Mother.
My Sister, my Brother,
My Flocks, and the Shepherdess, whom I adore?
Ah! when will the day come around
Which all that I love shall restore?
