Jagdmorgen
 (Sung text for setting by R. Schumann)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE
O frischer Morgen, frischer Mut,
Wie will ich euer gedenken!
Wer weiß, wird mir ein solches Gut
Der Himmel nochmals schenken:
Daheim die Meinen treu und lieb,
In mir der rege Lebenstrieb,
Und über mir die Sterne.

Der Morgen löscht die Sterne aus,
Er wirft mit Wind die Bäume;
Ich tret' aus dunklem Jägerhaus,
Verprustend die kurzen Träume.
Es saugt der Mund die frische Luft,
Die Brust schlingt herben Waldesduft,
Es hofft das Herz, was weiß ich!

 ... 

Und klarer, freier wird der Drang,
Je mehr der Tag sich lichtet,
Der Vogel auch versucht Gesang,
'S ist Alles so wohl gerichtet.
Herr Gott, in Deinem großen Haus,
Wie schwer mag's sein, wie leicht sieht's aus,
Hab' Dank für Jagd und Atmen!
