Morgen ist erstanden
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): ENG
Morgen ist erstanden
Frisch und sonnenhell.
Finstre Träume schwanden;
Frey von ihren Banden
Trinkt der Geist des regen Lebens Quell.
Sieh, mich lockt mein Nachen
Auf die hohe Fluth!
Will mir Liebchen lachen,
Muß mir Freud' erwachen,
Und der längst entwichne leichte Muth.
Oft hält mich befangen
Sorg' und Dunkelheit.
Aber Liebchens Wangen
Seh' ich rosig prangen,
Und bin neu dem süßen Licht geweiht.

Morning has come
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
Morning has come,
Fresh and bright with sunshine.
Darksome dreams have vanished;
Free from their fetters
The spirit drinks from the lively wellspring of life.
Lo, my barque is enticing me
Onto the high seas!
If my beloved smiles upon me,
Joy must awaken for me,
And the long-vanished buoyant valour.
Often I am caught
In anxiety and darkness.
But then I see rosily resplendent
The cheeks of my beloved,
And I am newly dedicated to the sweet light.
