3. Oesterreichisches Reiterlied  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Drüben am Wiesenrand 
Hocken zwei Dohlen,
Fall' ich am Donaustrand? 
Sterb' ich in Polen?
Was liegt daran?! 
Eh' sie meine Seele holen,
Kämpf' ich als Reitersmann.
 
Drüben am Ackerrain 
Schreien zwei Raben,
Werd ich der erste sein, 
Den sie begraben?
Was ist dabei?
Viel Hunderttausend traben
In [Öst'reichs]1 Reiterei!
 
Drüben im Abendrot 
Fliegen zwei Krähen --
Wann kommt der Schnitter Tod,
Um uns zu mähen?
Es ist nicht schad' !
[Seh' ich nur uns're]2 Fahnen wehen
Auf Belgerad!

Text Authorship:

  • by Hugo Zuckermann (1881 - 1914), "Reiterlied", written 1914
