by Christoph Carl Julius Asschenfeldt (1792 - 1856)

Trarah! trarah! das Hifthorn schallt
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Trarah! trarah! das Hifthorn schallt, 
Das Morgenroth durchglüht den Wald, 
Der Weidmann schweift durch Feld und Flur, 
Erspäht des Wildes leise Spur.   
Trarah! trarah! die brausende Jagd 
Durchstürmt des Waldes düstere Nacht, 
Trarah! trarah!

Wie Sturm die Locken rings durchweht, 
Der Jäger stolz und ruhig steht; 
Wie auch von Frost die Waldung starrt, 
Der heiße Jäger späht und harrt. 
Trarah! trarah! durch Nebel und Nacht 
Braus't laut die wilde, lärmende Jagd, 
Trarah! trarah!

Trarah! trarah! das Hifthorn schallt, 
Im Morgenroth die Büchse knallt, 
An Beute reich, mit Schweiß bethaut, 
Zieh'n heim wir, wenn der Abend grau't. 
Trarah! trarah! so klingt die Jagd, 
Zum Abschiedsgruß durch Nebel und Nacht, 
Trarah! trarah!
