Welche Lust, am frühen Tag
Tief im Waldesgrund zu lauschen!
Nah und fern das süße Rauschen,
Waldesduft und Amselschlag!
Wald, du grüner Freudensaal,
Sei gegrüßt viel tausendmal!

Was ich drauß' verloren hab',
Giebst du tausendfältig wieder;
Frischen Muth und neue Lieder 
Rauscht mir jeder Zweig herab.
Wald, du grüner Freudensaal,
Sei gegrüßt viel tausendmal!

Lieber Wald, nimm's freundlich an,
Daß ich dir von Herzen danke.
Ob auch alles weich' und wanke,
Treu bleibt dir der Sängersmann.
Wald, du grüner Freudensaal,
Sei gegrüßt viel tausendmal!
