“Better to search the fields for health unbought,
Than see the doctor for a nauseous draught,
The wise for health on exercise depend.
God never made his work for man to mend.”

Far along the frozen glaciers
Where the milky waters leap,
Through the fresh and quiet valleys,
Down the gorges wild and deep.
Creeps the night: The stars are shining
In the twilight and the gloom:
Drifting through the Alpine heavens,
Gently shines the rising moon.
Now she’s climbing upward; shadows
Dropping from the summit’s crest,
Wrap the valleys in the darkness,
Slumber on the mountain’s breast.
