Wie lieblich schallt Durch Busch und Wald Des Waldhorns süßer Klang! Der Wiederhall Im Eichental Hallt's nach so lang -- so lang! (Echo: So lang -- so lang!) Und jede Brust Fühlt neue Lust Beim frohen Zwillingston; Es flieht der Schmerz Aus jedem Herz Sogleich davon -- davon! (Echo: Davon -- davon!) Und jeder Baum Im weiten Raum Dünkt uns wohl noch so grün; Es wallt der Quell Wohl noch so hell Durch's Tal dahin -- dahin! (Echo: Dahin -- dahin!) Und die Natur Zeigt Gottes Spur -- Sey uns ein Heiligthum; Und Jedermann Bet's an -- bet' an -- Tief, erfurchtsvoll -- und stumm! (Echo: Und stumm -- und stumm!)
F. Silcher sets stanzas 1, 3, 2

How mellifluously resound Through bush and forest The sweet tones of the bugle! The echo In the valley of oaks Sounds it again so long -- so long! (Echo: So long -- so long!) And every breast Feels new joy When it hears the twin tones; Pain flees From every heart Immediately away -- away! (Echo: Away -- away!) And every tree In the wide expanse Still seems to us so green; The water-spring bubbles Still so brightly Through the valley, onward -- onward! (Echo: Onward -- onward!) And nature Shows divine traces -- May it be a shrine for us; And everyone Should pray to it -- pray to it -- Profoundly, respectfully -- and mutely! (Echo: And mutely -- and mutely!)
