Die Jagd
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Hört ihr die Hörner erschallen,
ihr Jäger, eilet herbei,
der schlanke Hirsch muß fallen
mit himmelhohem Geweih.

Was stehst du ohne zu hoffen
und blickst so traurig umher,
als hätte dich selber getroffen 
ins Herz ein glühend Gewehr?

Wohl wahr, wohl hat mich getroffen
ins Herz ein glühend Gewehr,
dahin ist des Jägers Hoffen,
ihn freut sein Harren nicht mehr.

Kann mir mein Zielen gelingen
auf sie selber, die schöne Magd,
wie will ich dann laufen und springen;
bis dahin, erlaßt mir die Jagd!
