Within the House of Lake Walensee

Mist glides above the pristine waters,
Divine clouds rest gently upon the peaks, 
Of fair and turquoise Walensee.

Night falls and moon-glow illumes,
The everblooming and serene hills,
Of clear and lofty Walenstadt.

Hidden within the lush green flora,
Leaning against the majestic forest,
Is the little house by Lake Walen. 

An elegant cottage with cosy lamp light,
Flowing outwards into the air of night,
That wreathe the pearl of St.Gallen. 

Within, a gramophone brings forth, 
The mellow sound of a slow lyric waltz,
And the graceful couple of Walen house,

A flaxen lady and her gentle, stoic man,
Delight as they gait softly in warm embrace,
To the still and beauty of fair Walensee!
