Morgenlied

Es flitzt der erste Sonnenstrahl 
auf meinen blanken Hartbartstahl
und läßt ihn hell erglühen.

So grüß dich Gott, du junger Tag!
Es lüstet mich nach Stich und Schlag,
mein Herz hebt an zu blühen.

Willkommen, Strauß und frischer Streit,
willkommen, der Ehren grüne Zeit,
Mannheit will sich erwehren!

Hallo! laßt uns im Morgenrot
grad an den Feind mit Mord und Tod
wie Sturm und Wetter fahren!
