Postillons Morgenlied
 (Sung text for setting by C. Banck)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Vivat, und in's Horn ich stoße!
Vivat, wie so hell es klingt,
Wenn es in der Morgenstunde
Meinem Schatz ein Vivat bringt!

Und die Peitsche knallt dazwischen,
Und die Räder rasseln drein,
Und die Funken und die Flammen
Fliegen über Stock und Stein.

Bravo, bravo, braver Schwager!
Ruft mir zu der Passagier:
Mag er's loben und bezahlen,
Liebste, aber's gilt nur dir.

Kann ich's mit dem Schwert nicht zeigen,
Mit dem blanken Rittersporn,
Hat mein Herz für seine Liebe
Doch dies kleine runde Horn.

 ...
