Reiterausfahrt
 (Sung text for setting by H. Nägeli)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Auf, es ist entschieden,
  Munter fort in's Feld!
  Alles, was im Frieden
  Bindet ihn und hält,
  Wirft der kühne Reiter
  Hinter sich und weiter
  Trabt er durch die ungestüme Welt.

Doch die süße Liebe,
  Liebchen, wandelt mit,
  Wie ihn Schicksal triebe,
  Folgt ihm Schritt auf Schritt,
  Wagt's, in süßen Bildern
  Deine Huld zu schildern,
  Heißt vergessen, was er schweigend litt.

 ...
