Language: German (Deutsch)
Mit dem Pfeil, dem Bogen, Durch Gebirg' und Tal Kommt der Schütz gezogen Früh am Morgenstrahl. Wie im Reich der Lüfte König ist der Weih -- Durch Gebirg und Klüfte Herrscht der Schütze frei. Ihm gehört das Weite, Was sein Pfeil erreicht, Das ist seine Beute, Was da kreucht und fleugt.
