Bow and arrow bearing

by (1759–1805)

Listen in the reader

Bow and arrow bearing, Over hills and streams Moves the hunter daring, Soon as daylight gleams.

As all flying creatures Own the eagle's sway, So the hunter, Nature's Mounts and crags obey.

Over space he reigneth, And he makes his prize All his bolt attaineth, All that creeps or flies.
