Aubade

Language: English

Our translations: DUT

It is time, O ye leaves,
O ye leaves, on the treetops of morning!
Laugh down the trees,
that pastures may wake!

It is time, O ye streams,
O ye streams, on the hilltops of morning!
Run down the hills,
That the valleys may wake!

It is time, O ye bells,
O ye bells, in the grey spire of morning!
Run down the spire,
That the hamlet may wake!

Hulde

Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the English

Het is tijd, o blad'ren
O bladeren, 's ochtends in de kruinen! 
Lach naar benee
Laat de weiden ontwaken!

Het is tijd, o stromen
O stromen, 's ochtends op de toppen!
Stroom naar benee
Laat de dalen ontwaken!

Het is tijd, o klokken
O klokken, 's ochtends in grijze spitsen!
Klink naar benee
Laat de dorpen ontwaken!
