Morgendämmerung
Language: German (Deutsch)
Gedenk ich noch der Frühlingsnächte Vor manchem, manchem Jahr, Wie wir zusammen im Garten standen Und unten über den Landen Alles so still noch war. Wie wir standen in Gedanken, Bis eine Morgenglocke erwacht' - Das alles ist lange vergangen; Aber die Glocken, die da klangen, Hör ich noch oft bei Nacht.

Dawn
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
I think still of those spring nights So many, many years ago, How we stood together in the garden And across the landscape below Everything was yet so silent. How we stood there in contemplation, Until a morning bell rang [awakened] – All of that was so long ago; But the bells, those that rang then, I still often hear at night.
