Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC DEDEFF GHGHII JKJKLL MNMNBB LCLCOO PQRSCC| Thy rest was deep at the slumberer's hour | A |
| If thou didst not hear the blast | B |
| Of the savage horn from the mountain tower | A |
| As the Wild Night Huntsman pass'd | B |
| And the roar of the stormy chase went by | C |
| Through the dark unquiet sky | C |
| - | |
| The stag sprung up from his mossy bed | D |
| When he caught the piercing sounds | E |
| And the oak boughs crash'd to his antler'd head | D |
| As he flew from the viewless hounds | E |
| And the falcon soar'd from her craggy height | F |
| Away through the rushing night | F |
| - | |
| The banner shook on its ancient hold | G |
| And the pine in its desert place | H |
| As the cloud and tempest onward roll'd | G |
| With the din of the trampling race | H |
| And the glens were fill'd with the laugh and shout | I |
| And the bugle ringing out | I |
| - | |
| From the chieftain's hand the wine cup fell | J |
| At the castle's festive board | K |
| And a sudden pause came o'er the swell | J |
| Of the harp's triumphal chord | K |
| And the Minnesinger's thrilling lay | L |
| In the hall died fast away | L |
| - | |
| The convent's chanted rite was stay'd | M |
| And the hermit dropp'd his beads | N |
| And a trembling ran through the forest shade | M |
| At the neigh of the phantom steeds | N |
| And the church bells peal'd to the rocking blast | B |
| As the Wild Night Huntsman pass'd | B |
| - | |
| The storm hath swept with the chase away | L |
| There is stillness in the sky | C |
| But the mother looks on her son to day | L |
| With a troubled heart and eye | C |
| And the maiden's brow hath a shade of care | O |
| Midst the gleam of her golden hair | O |
| - | |
| The Rhine flows bright but its waves ere long | P |
| Must hear a voice of war | Q |
| And a clash of spears our hills among | R |
| And a trumpet from afar | S |
| And the brave on a bloody turf must lie | C |
| For the Huntsman hath gone by | C |
