Hörnerklänge rufen klagend Aus des Forstes grüner Nacht, In das Land der Liebe tragend Waltet ihre Zaubermacht. Selig, wer ein Herz gefunden, Das sich liebend ihm ergab, Mir ist jedes Glück entschwunden, Denn die Teure deckt das Grab. Tönen aus des Waldes Gründen Hörnerklänge an mein Ohr, Glaub ich wieder sie zu finden, Zieht es mich zu ihr empor! Jenseits wird sie mir erscheinen, Die sich liebend mir ergab, O welch seliges Vereinen, Keine Schrecken hat das Grab.
Note: Schubert received Mayrhofer's texts in handwriting. This poem does not appear in any printed edition of Mayrhofer's poems. Schubert wrote only the first stanza into his manuscript, but put a repeat sign at the end. The text of the second stanza is taken from the first edition of the song; it cannot be confirmed that it does originate from Mayrhofer.

Les appels des cors retentissent plaintivement, De la nuit verte de la forêt, Pour nous transporter dans le pays de l'amour, Ils ont des pouvoirs magiques. Heureux celui qui trouve un cœur Qui se donne lui-même à l'amour. Tout ce bonheur est fini pour moi, Car la tombe recouvre mon amour. Quand de la profondeur de la forêt retentit L'appel du cor à mon oreille, J'imagine que je l'ai retrouvée à nouveau, Et que je suis attiré vers elle. De l'autre côté, elle se montrera à moi Celle qui pleine d'amour s'est donnée à moi. Oh, quelle réunion bienheureuse ! La tombe ne porte aucune terreur.
