by Joseph Karl Benedikt, Freiherr von Eichendorff (1788 - 1857)

Es ist ein Klang gekommen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Es ist ein Klang gekommen
Herüber durch die Luft,
Der Wind hat's gebracht und genommen,
Ich weiß nicht, wer mich ruft.
Es schallt der Grund von Hufen,
In der Ferne fiel ein Schuß -
Das sind die Jäger, die rufen,
Daß ich hinunter muß!
