by August Schnezler (1809 - 1853)

Hör' ich ein Waldhorn klingen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE
  Hör' ich ein Waldhorn klingen
Durch das Gebirge hin,
Ich zöge dann so gerne
Wohl in die blaue Ferne
Zu einer Jägerin.

  Im dunklen Tannenwalde,
Da steht des Försters Haus,
Im tiefen Wald verborgen.
Da schaut am frühen Morgen
Das Töchterlein heraus.

  Der Vater und die Tochter,
Die machen Alles wund,
Der Vater schießt die Hirschlein,
Die Tochter trifft die Bürschlein
Tief in des Herzens Grund.
