The Alpine peasants, two and three,
Climb up here to pray;

Ride out to church from Chamberry,
Dight with mantles gay,
But else it is a lonely time
Round the Church of Brou.

For Sunday whispered, 'twas his will.

The Sundaies of man's life,
Thredded together on time's string,
Make bracelets to adorn the wife
Of the eternal, glorious King.
