by Christoph Carl Julius Asschenfeldt (1792 - 1856)

Trarah! trarah! das Hifthorn schallt
Language: German (Deutsch) 
[Trarah! trarah!]1 das Hifthorn schallt, 
Das Morgenroth durchglüht den Wald, 
Der Weidmann schweift durch Feld und Flur, 
Erspäht des Wildes leise Spur.   
[Trarah! trarah!]1 die brausende Jagd 
Durchstürmt des Waldes düstere Nacht, 
[Trarah! trarah!]1

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!]1 durch Nebel und Nacht 
Braus't laut die wilde, lärmende Jagd, 
[Trarah! trarah!]1

[Trarah! trarah!]1 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!]1 so klingt die Jagd, 
Zum Abschiedsgruß durch Nebel und Nacht, 
[Trarah! trarah!]1
