by Louise Brachmann (1777 - 1822)

Lieb' ist schön wie Morgenröthe
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
    Lieb' ist schön wie [Morgenröthe]1,
Die den [dunkeln]2 Raum belebt!
Lieblich, wie des [Hirten]3 Flöte,
Die an sanfter Lippe schwebt!
 
    Mächtig zieht Natur die Seele
Zu dem liebsten, zweiten Ich,
Aber heil'gere Befehle
Regen früh im Innern sich.
 
    Weh' dem Herzen, das von Schimmer
Und von Glut der Liebe spricht,
Glüht in seinen Schlägen nimmer
Dankbar fromme Kindespflicht.
 
    Eh' uns die gewalt'ge Liebe
Noch zu Lust und Schmerz bewegt,
Hat mit großmuthsvollen Triebe
Schon uns Aelterntreu gepflegt.

J. Lang sets stanzas 1-2
