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.

Met zijn boog, zijn pijlen, Dwars door berg en dal Komt de schutter lopen Vroeg des morgens al. Zo in 't rijk der winden Koning is de wouw, Zijn gebergt' en kloven Schutters eigen gouw. Hem behoort de ruimte Die zijn pijl doorklieft; 't Is het zijne, al het zijne, Wat daar kruipt en vliegt.
