Es taget vor dem Walde/Kein Adler in der Welt by Arnold von Bruck — Lyrics
Es taget vor dem Walde
Steh auf Kätterlein!
Hasen laufen balde,
Steh auf Kätterlein, holder Buhl!
Heiaho, du bist mein
so bin ich dein.

About Es taget vor dem Walde/Kein Adler in der Welt
Arnold von Bruck was a composer of the German Lied in the 16th century. This setting of a German secular text for SSATB voices captures the awakening of a new day. The first section, 'Es taget vor dem Walde,' portrays the dawn with imagery of hares running and a call to wakefulness, directly addressing 'Kätterlein' as a beloved. The second section, 'Kein Adler in der Welt,' uses the metaphor of an eagle's proud flight to praise a noble lady, comparing her virtues and beauty to the bird's majesty and concluding with a declaration of devotion.
