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.

Con la freccia, l'arco per montagna e valle viene e va l'arciere al primo raggio del mattino. Come nel regno dell'aria è re l'airone - per montagne e dirupi è signore il libero arciere: a lui appartiene lo spazio, fin dove arriva la sua freccia, questa è la sua preda, ciò che striscia e vola.
