Früh steht der Jäger auf Und beginnt den Tageslauf: Das erste Licht auf's Büchsenkorn Bringt mehr als ein ganzer Tagesborn: Dämmer ist Wildes Braut, Dämmer macht Wild vertraut, -- Was man früh angeseh'n, Wird uns nicht leicht entgeh'n. 1

Früh steht der Jäger auf Und beginnt den Tageslauf: Das erste Licht auf's Büchsenkorn Bringt mehr als ein ganzer Tagesborn: Auf zur Jagd!

The huntsman arises early And begins his daily round: The first light in the sight of the musket Is worth more than a whole day's fount [of light]. The early light of dawning is the game's bride, The early light of dawning makes the game trusting,-- What one spots in the early part of the day, Will not easily get away1.
