Das Posthorn
 (Sung text for setting by C. Voss)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Das Posthorn schmettert, die Peitsche knallt;
Mir wird so weh um's Herz! 
Sie fahren dahin, der Ton verhalt; 
verhall'  nun auch, mein Schmerz! 
Sobald die linden Lüfte wehn,
Werd' ich sie Alle wiedersehn,
Die mich geliebt, 
Die ich geliebt.

Ich möchte wohl einst so begraben sein
Vom blasenden Postillon;
Nach jenem Land so still und klein
seh'n ich mich lange schon.
Sobald die linden Lüfte wehn,
Werd' ich sie Alle wiedersehn,
Die mich geliebt, 
Die ich geliebt.
