Eagle Tyrolean eagleA
Why are thy plumes so redB
In part because I restC
On Ortler's lordly crestC
There share I with the snowD
The sunset's crimson glowD

Why are thy plumes so redB
From drinking of the wineE
Of Etschland's peerless vineE
Its juice so redly shinesF
That it incarnadinesF

Eagle Tyrolean eagleA
Why are thy plumes so redB
My plumage hath been dyedG
In blood my foes suppliedG
Oft on my breast hath lainH
That deeply purple stainH

Why are thy plumes so redB
From suns that fiercely shineE
From draughts of ruddy wineE
From blood my foes have shedB
From these am I so redB
