Silbern überflogen Ruhet das Feld und schweigt, Ein Jäger hebt seinen Bogen, Der Wald rauscht und eine Lerche steigt. Der Wald rauscht und eine zweite Steigt auf und fällt. Ein Jäger hebt seine Beute Und der Tag tritt in die Welt.

Survolé d'argent Le champ repose en silence, Un chasseur lève son arc La forêt bruisse et une alouette s'élève. La forêt bruisse et une deuxième S'élève et tombe. Un chasseur soulève sa proie Et le jour entre dans le monde.
