Es jagt' ein Jäger früh am Tag Ein Reh durch Wälder und Auen, Da sah er aus dem Gartenhag Ein rosig Mägdlein schauen. Was ist geschehn dem guten Pferd? Hat es den Fuß verletzet? Was ist geschehn dem Jäger wert, Daß er nicht mehr ruft und hetzet? Das Rehlein rennet immer noch Über Berg und Tal so bange. Halt an, du seltsam Tierlein, doch! Der Jäger vergaß dich lange.

Au petit matin un chasseur poursuivait Un chevreuil à travers bois et champs, Soudain il voit, à la barrière de son jardin Une fraîche jeune fille qui le regarde. Qu'est‑il arrivé au bon cheval ? S'est‑il blessé au pied ? Qu'est‑il arrivé de si bon au chasseur, Qu'il ne crie plus ni ne se presse ? Le petit chevreuil court encore Apeuré, par monts et par vaux. Arrête‑toi donc étrange petit animal ! Le chasseur t'a oublié depuis longtemps.
