DeepL has it as:

"I am no standard-bearer,

no eagle-hearted guide

on your journey to the land of dawn.

I am a willow by the riverbank,

through which the winds blow,

from which the world’s rebellious spirit

plays a simple flute to play a melody"

Pretty good; I couldn't have done it better, I suppose. (Though, "standards-bearer" is weird.)
