The "Beresinalied" (lit. 'Song of the [River] Beresina') is a popular Swiss folk song. Also known by its opening line, "Unser Leben gleicht der Reise", the German lyrics are based on the last four stanzas of a poem by Ludwig Giseke, called "Die Nachtreise" (lit. 'The Night Journey'), published in 1792.
