Original text and translations

English text

The morn unbars the gates of light,
The landscape smiles in beauty bright;
The nightingales now swell their throats,
And on the wings of silence floats:
Hark to the huntsman’s horn so shrill,
The woods around with echoes fill;
Each sportsman mounts his panting steed,
And o’er the trembling earth they speed;
The welkin resounds,
The horn and the hounds.
