Euryanthe

Opera by Carl Maria (Friedrich Ernst) von Weber (1786 - 1826)

Jägerchor
 (Sung text for setting by C. Weber)
 Matches base text

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Die Tale dampfen, die Höhen glüh'n!
Welch' fröhlich Jagen in Waldes Grün!
Der Morgen weckt zu frischer Lust!
Noch schwillt die Brust, des Siegs bewusst.
Dringt mutig durch Schluchten und Moor,
lasst schmettern die Hörner im Chor!
Ihr Fürsten der Waldung, hervor!

Nun freudig sieget das gold'ne Licht!
Vom Bogen flieget des Pfeils Gewicht!
Ereilt den Aar auf luft'gem Horst,
erlegt die Schlang' im dichten Forst.
Wohlauf denn durch Schluchten und Moor,
lasst schmettern die Hörner im Chor!
Ihr Fürsten der Waldung, hervor!
