by Conrad Ferdinand Meyer (1825 - 1898)

Das Huttenlied
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Der Uferau vorüber glitt ein Kahn
ganz nah; fast stieß er an das Ufer an.

Von fahr'nden Schülern war der Nachen voll,
ein Lied aus zwanzig jungen Kehlen scholl.

Im Buchenlaub verborgen unsichtbar
lag nahe zum Berühren ich der Schar.

Das Ruder schlug den Takt der Melodie,
entlang das Inselufer sangen sie:

„Behüte Christ das edelfränkisch Blut!
Es kündet uns viel köstlich Wahrheit gut.

Aus Treuen tut's der Ritter ohne Lohn,
die Treu' verspürt die deutsche Nation!

Der Römer schickt dir Mörder vor die Tür;
ach, edler Hutt' aus Franken, sieh dich für!“

Sie brachen Zweiglein ab vom Buchenhag,
und keiner ahnte, wer dahinter lag.
