 ... 

  Im tiefen Wald verborgen,
Da steht des Försters Haus,
Im tiefen Wald verborgen.
Da schaut an jedem Morgen
Sein Töchterlein heraus.

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

Concealed in the Dark Wood

(Sung text translation for setting by H. Pfitzner)

See original

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

 ... 

Within the dark pine forest 
Stands a woodsman’s house,
Concealed in the dark wood.
There, early each morning
His young daughter peers out.

The father and the daughter,
Each can wound;
the father shoots the young deer,
The daughter smites the young man
Deep in the heart’s core.

Note: the text above is taken from stanzas 2-3 of the original text.
