High waving heather, beneath stormy blasts bending
Midnight and moonlight and bright shining stars;
Darkness and glory rejoicingly blending
Earth rising to heaven and heaven descending
Man's spirit away from its deep dungeon sending
Bursting the fetters and breaking the bars

All down the mountain sides, wild forests lending
One mighty voice to the lifegiving wind;
Rivers their banks in the jubilee rending
Fast thru the valleys a reckless course wending
Wider and deeper their vallеys extending
Leaving a dеsolate desert behind

Shining and lowering and swelling and dying
Changing forever from midnight to noon;
Roaring like thunder like soft music sighing
Shadows on shadows advancing and flying
Lightning-bright flashes the deep gloom defying
Coming as swiftly and fading as soon
