by Friedrich Gottlob Wetzel (1779 - 1819)

Vorwärts! was zaudert ihr?
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Vorwärts! was zaudert ihr?
Vorwarts! was stehen wir?
Vorwärts! ich sterbe vor Ungeduld schier!

-- Dort wo dick schwarz der Dampf,
Rasch hinein in den Kampf,
Hurrah! Drommeten und Rossegestampf!

Schlagen die Kugeln auf,
Springen wir oben drauf,
Kommen so schneller gen Himmel hinauf.

Ha wie es blitzt und kracht!
Lustige Freyheitsschlacht!
Müde Kameraden, nur Platz gemacht!

Uns nur, laßt uns heran!
Kommen wir Preußen (Jäger) dran,
Da ist die Sache bald abgethan.
