by Alexandre de Lacharme, Père (1695 - 1767)
Translation by Friedrich Rückert (1788 - 1866)

Sie sprach: Es kräht der Hahn
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Latin 
Sie sprach: Es kräht der Hahn.
Er sprach: Er darf noch nicht.
Sie sprach: Der Tag bricht an.
Er sprach: O nein, mein Licht!

Steh auf, steh auf und schaue,
Ob nicht der Himmel graue!
Auf geht der Morgenstern,
Der Tag ist nicht mehr fern.

Auf! es ist Zeit, zu scheiden.
[Enteil!]1 und triff in Eil
Den Anfang uns'rer Leiden,
Den Hahn, mit einem Pfeil!
