by Joseph Karl Benedikt, Freiherr von Eichendorff (1788 - 1857)

Jagdlied
 (Sung text for setting by F. Mendelssohn)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT CAT DUT ENG FRE
Durch schwankende Wipfel
Schießt goldener Strahl,
Tief unter den Gipfeln
Das nebliche Tal.
Fern hallt es vom Schlosse,
Das Waldhorn ruft,
Es wiehern die Rosse
In die Luft, in die Luft!

Bald Länder und Seen
Bald Wolkenzug
Tief schimmernd zu sehen
In schwindelndem Flug,
Bald Dunkel wieder
Hüllt Reiter und Roß,
O Lieb', o Liebe
So laß mich los! -

Immer weiter und weiter
Die Klänge ziehn,
Durch Wälder und Heiden
Wohin, ach wohin?
Erquickliche Frische,
Süß-schaurige Lust!
Hoch flattern die Büsche,
Frei schlägt die Brust.
