Wie lieblich schallt
Language: German (Deutsch)
Wie lieblich schallt
Durch Busch und Wald
Des Waldhorns süßer Klang!
Der Wiederhall
Im Eichental
Hallt's nach so lang -- so lang!
(Echo: So lang -- so lang!)
Und jede Brust
Fühlt neue Lust
Beim frohen Zwillingston;
Es flieht der Schmerz
Aus jedem Herz
Sogleich davon -- davon!
(Echo: Davon -- davon!)
Und jeder Baum
Im weiten Raum
Dünkt uns wohl noch so grün;
Es wallt der Quell
Wohl noch so hell
Durch's Tal dahin -- dahin!
(Echo: Dahin -- dahin!)
Und die Natur
Zeigt Gottes Spur --
Sey uns ein Heiligthum;
Und Jedermann
Bet's an -- bet' an --
Tief, erfurchtsvoll -- und stumm!
(Echo: Und stumm -- und stumm!)
F. Silcher sets stanzas 1, 3, 2

How mellifluously resound
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
How mellifluously resound
Through bush and forest
The sweet tones of the bugle!
The echo
In the valley of oaks
Sounds it again so long -- so long!
(Echo: So long -- so long!)
And every breast
Feels new joy
When it hears the twin tones;
Pain flees
From every heart
Immediately away -- away!
(Echo: Away -- away!)
And every tree
In the wide expanse
Still seems to us so green;
The water-spring bubbles
Still so brightly
Through the valley, onward -- onward!
(Echo: Onward -- onward!)
And nature
Shows divine traces --
May it be a shrine for us;
And everyone
Should pray to it -- pray to it --
Profoundly, respectfully -- and mutely!
(Echo: And mutely -- and mutely!)
