by Karl Egon Ebert (1801 - 1882)

Der Mägde Jubel
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Frei ist der Vogel in der Luft,
frei spendet Rose ihren Duft,
frei ist der Wolf in seiner Kluft,
frei, frei!

Uns Jungfrau'n ist die Kehle weich,
wir sind an hellen Liedern reich,
d'rum sind wir auch den Vögeln gleich,
frei, frei!

Wie [Rose]1 sind wir schmuck und zier,
wir blüh'n auf Erden schön gleich ihr,
auch scharfe Dornen führen wir
frei, frei!

Doch können wir auch Wölfe sein:
Zwingt man in Kerker uns hinein,
wir brechen sie in Trümmer ein,
frei, frei!

Ha, los ist, los die Kerkerwand,
zerschlagen ist das Fesselband,
wir schweifen hin durch's weite Land,
frei, frei!
