ALPINE GLOW - Our lives are Swiss
Our lives are Swiss, -- / So still, so cool,
A LITTLE madness in the Spring
Is wholesome even for the King,
But God be with the Clown,
Who ponders this tremendous scene–
This whole experiment of green,
As if it were his own!
Our lives are Swiss, -- / So still, so cool,
It dropped so low in my regard / I heard it hit the ground,
Sweet is the swamp with its secrets, / Until we meet a snake;
If I should die, / And you should live,
